Dear all,
Our welding consumables intended for use in duplex stainless steels will normally give a weld metal with FN 35 -50. The weld metal mechanical properties are strongly dependent on ferrite number. Higher ferrite numbers, > 50, gives higher tensile strength, lower elongation and maybe also lower Charpy values.
Welding with too low heat input will give a weld metal with too high FN, resulting in bad mechanical properties. Too high heat input will give too much brittle intermetallic phases. Since the ferrite is transformed into brittle intermetallic phase, the FN measured in the weld will be low..
Measurement of ferrite number in real weldment can be carried out with a precision of +/-10%, according to investigations carried out by IIW.

Hi,
We are welding duplex stainless steel.
To control the parameters of welding, we are measuring ferrite number of weld.
Can anybody tell us how acceptable values of ferrite numbers are decided.
Regards,
Pankaj
