Re: [MW:4885] Ar purge for Low Alloy steel

dear all

according to API 582 CLAUSE 7.3 see the following

 

"Back purging is required for the GTAW and GMAW

processes for welding materials having a nominal chromium

content greater than 2l/4% unless the joint is ground or back

gouged to sound metal."
the cause  is

"back purging gas is selected to prevent oxidation

or scale formation on the underside of the weld"

For Cr>3%, it is always better go for purging, if customer insist for all low alloy, pl do it because it will better and uniform root penetration
