Dear Sir
Thanks for your valuable advice. However we have landed up in one more hurdle in same job discussed below.
The SA105 forging is having Mn content on higher side i.e 1.19%.
as against specification of 1.05% max.
There is a footnote stating that as per --- Mn=1.36% max is also allowed.
The Carbon content is 0.22%.
Due to high Mn content the CE is 0.47.
Now with such high CE should we preheat the joint to the same temp. of 75DegreesC adviced by you ??
Will this high CE of 0.47 and high Mn content affect the weldability of CS#SS joint?
Also as per ASME Sec VIII Div 1, Non-mandatory appendix R (R1 & R7), preheating is not required for this P1#P8 joint.
But client is adamant and says that Non-Mandatory appendix should never be followed. Is this approach true.
Client is telling that only Mandatory appendix should be followed !!
Please advice !
Regards
Prem Nautiyal
