Re: [MW:4147] FW: 4106] essentials about SAW PROCESS

Dear Goswami

thank you for reply.

but my intention of question is :when the composition of weld metal is dependent to flux,which welding parameters affect on amount of alloying elements in weld metal?

regards

Mr Asghari,

 

Both QW-404.10 & 404.27 applies to procedure qualification by SAW and are essential variables. In SAW , one can do the alloying through flux only, or though wire or through flux and wire combined.

 

You may be aware that SAW fluxes are manufactured (briefly without going into details) as acidic flux, basic (agglomerated, bonded or fused) or neutral fluxes. Each flux behaves differently during welding. Due to these factors SAW flux is so important and fabricator has to know precisely the AWS classification as mentioned in SFA -5.23 or SFA 5.17 as provided by consumable manufacturer.

 

QW 404.10-  Where the alloy content of the weld metal is very much  dependent upon the composition of the flux used, any change in any part of the welding procedure may result in the important alloying elements in the weld metal being outside of the specification range  given in the Welding Procedure Specification. If  the production welds are not being made in accordance with the procedure specification, the authorized inspector may require that a check be made on the chemical composition of the weld metal on a production weld.

 

QW-404.27— Where the alloy content of the weld metal is largely dependent upon the composition of the supplemental filler metal  or any other form of additive, such as  alloy powder. This changes weld metal chemistry thus deemed as essential variable as per ASME Sec-IX.

 

Regarding your earlier queries:-

 

·         what is effect of filler composition in transfer mode in GMAW?—None, transfer mode is a function of, wire size, shielding gas and Polarity/ Arc Current.

 

·         why backing material is required for FCAW for root pass?—FCAW is not meant to be a full penetration weld , unless some improved and special  power source is used, such as STT.

 

 

Hope I have tried to clear your doubts. I am attaching an e-book on SAW for your reference.

 

Thanks

Dear all

does anybody have experiences or interpretations about

QW 404.10 & 404.27(the alloy content of the weld metal is largely dependent(how can assess) upon the composition of the flux used, any change in any part of the welding procedure which would result in the important alloying elements in the weld)

 

QW 404.24:10% VOLUME IN TOTAL LENTGH OR NOT?

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, ...
