Yes higher heat input, Higher current, cleanliness of joint, will increase Ferrite no ,Generally use short arc

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

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
