RE: [MW:3720] Carpenter steel Alloy20 welding

By Materials & Welding

Dear Mr.Pradip,

 

We are using LR type filler material .

I have read that these repairs are nothing but oxides and avoiding these is very difficult.

Is it true.

 

Regards,

Shashi Kumar

Dear Mr. Shashi kumar,

 

I have attached the spec sheet of Alloy-20 for your reference.Usually this alloy is a fully austenitic alloy, so requires good cleanliness to ensure crack free(usually hot cracks) welds. Usually welding consumable should have low residuals ( S & P). E-320 and ER-320LR consumables are fine.

 

Usually this alloy does not require preheating, for barrier layer deposition on 4" thick flange preheating (100-150 deg C)  is recommended. If this deposition is a multi layer deposition, 2nd layer onwards in the interpass should be controlled 150 deg C max. Clearing LPI is recommended for each pass of weld deposition.

 

Due to high nickel content the wetting behavior of this alloy can be a problem, hence proper bead overlap (40-50 %) would ensure a sound defect free weld deposit.

 

Looking at the problem, the defect looks to me as improper fusion or lack of interbead fusion. If you do a light grinding ,then improper fusion would be reveled, otherwise LPI would detect it.

 

Look forward to further feedback from your end.

 

Thanks

Subject: [MW:3712] Carpenter steel Alloy20 welding

Dear Gentlemen,

 

Is preheat of work piece required for Alloy20 overlay on P1 (100 thk Girth flange)

using ER-320LR and for welding of Alloy 20 plates.

I am Experiencing Lot of defects in welding of Alloy 20 plates SB 463 / 16 thk .

Defects are linear but are not actually slag.

What could they be???

Consumable used is E-320 and ER-320LR.

 

Will appreciate immediate response.

 

Regards,

Shashi kumar

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
