Sir One of my customer also have faced similar problem , in case of welding SS 304 & 316 Plates , Tacking By E 316-16 Electrodes & welding by ER 316L FIller wires The welded are attracts magnet , but same on filler , or plates or on stub ends it does not Pl let us know If is it the case of residual magnetisumdue to DC Welding ? How it can be avoided? Pl guide us Regards Suneel Gore

One of my friend is facing a problem, which I'm putting to the group as I'm not sure about the solution.. SS joints after welding has becoming magnetic ( Ferrite number is not a criteria for these joints) and hence attracted by magnet ( including Socket Joints )- mostly pipe to fitting joints , but his Client is doubting that they are becoming magnetic because it's root has been welded by CS filler wire- rest passes by SS filler wire. This , he insists is done by welder to do the job faster and save purging- as per his past experience in some Gulf project. There are some thousand of SS joints ( 304, 321 ) in his plant, which is ready. What can be done, apart from PMI & Ferrite ( on which he doesn't have much faith as they show the reading of the Final pass ) , to convince him about the integrity of the joint without cutting/ drilling / damaging the joint. Please share any literature which relates Magnetism to the Welding/ Ferrite percentage. Welding Processes involved are GTAW (mandatory for all root welding ) and SMAW ( for above 8mm thk ) Thanks & Best Regards,
Rishi Raj Singh
