Dear Rishi RAJ                                   date 21.07.2009
Yes you are right , The heat in put(Or the cooling rate ) have definately have effect on some grades of SS Mainly 304 & 316

Thanks  Mr. Hegde,

Can heat input , be a variable for erratic ferrite no ?

For example I'm using filler wire of the same batch no ( packet ) & welder , but in one joint I get Ferrite no. less than 8 % and in other joint I get over 10%.

 

Best Regards,
Rishi Raj Singh

Austenetic SS used in chemical /petrochemical plant require  good Corrosion resistance. For which delta ferrite plays the major role.

i)Increase in Delta Ferrite will reduce the corrosion resistance . Therefore in severe corrosion resistance requirement  , ferrite to be kept below 8% (Generally it is kept between  3-7 %)However  very low ferrite  causes defect like hot crack, fissures ,There is no code requirement but Ferrite requirement is decided by process licenser ,depending upon the service condition

ii)You can check ferrite No by Instrument called Ferrite Meter where you can get Ferrite No directly ,Some time You can check with respect to Delong Diagram ( Given in ASME Sec 2C ) by calculating /plotting the Cr , and Ni equivalent from actual chemical analysis of weld  

iii)My experience –some time Ferrite no increases due to work hardening of material If you measure by Ferrite meter

Subject: [MW:2729] Ferrite Number (FN) for the deposited weld metal

 

Dear All,

Regarding above mentioned subject, i would like to know in detail about ferrite number. I have a few questions to ask such as What is the ferrite number? Why it is so important? Materials subjected to ferrite number? Permissible limit of ferrite number? Code and standard that we refer to requirement of ferrite number? Procedure to perform ferrite number?..If anybody have experience or information regarding this subject hopefully you can share with me. Thank in advance for your kind cooperation


Regards

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
