RE: [MW:5240] Use of MIG filler wire as a TIG welding filler wire

By Materials & Welding
Hi, Hitesh,
From my own experience, I think it is available to use MIG wire for TIG process.
The reasons of different property are the shielding gas and welding procedure.

I1=100% Argon
M12=5↓%CO2 + 95↑%Argon
Generally, the property under pure Argon condition is higher than the condition with Oxidizing gas.
 
and the layer of TIG welding is a little more than MIG welding.
Heat Input of TIG welding is lower too.
 
So do not hesitate to use this wire as TIG wire as long as you can control the welding procedure.
 

 

Best regards

Dear friends,


i am going to use below ER316LMn filler wire for SS316L. (working condition 4.5K ( -269 'C ) temp.)

ER316LMn filler wire available for TIG & MIG welding. i want to use 1.2 mm dia. filler wire for TIG welding but 1.2 mm dia. not available for TIG welding. 

as 1.2 mm dia. filler available in MIG welding. filler wire mfg. given property for ER316LMn listed below for GTAW & GMAW.

if i want to use MIG filler wire for TIG welding , can I get TIG welding property listed below.

Please give your valuable suggestions.

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, ...
