Ferrite number is NOT applicable to Plain Carbon steels weldability.
Ferrite number is determined from the WRC 1992 diagram by calculating the Chromium equivalent and Nickel equivalent.
Till date i have seen the requirement of Ferrite in austenitic stainless steels and duplex stainless steels only.

The information is very basic but it is the one place I could quickly put my hands on a comparison of Ferrite Number and % Ferrite (volume %). Look at the Delong diagram and you can see the lines expressed as both ferrite number and % ferrite.

Estimating ferrite can be done with Sheffler Diagram (oldest), Delong Diagran (modified Sheffler), and WRC ferrite diagram (currently in vogue). If you can get your hands on it, there is a good discussion of welding of stainless steels in the AWS Welding Handbook, Volume 4, Materials and Applications Part 2. As the AWS Handbook is copyright material, I do not feel confortable copying it and sending out.

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
