[MW:5729] RE: 5723] A335 Gr9

Dear Rahuman,

In general, back purging is required for materials having Chromium > 3% in order to avoid oxide formation at the root. Please refer to AWS D10.8 for recommendations for welding of C-Mo steel piping and tubing.

Recommended filler metal is E8018-B8 (SFA 5.5)/ ER80S-B8 (SFA 5.28). For electrodes E8018-B8 type, suggested to use with low hydrogen type with H4 or H5 in order to control hydrogen level in weld metal.

The following precautions shall be adhered during welding qualification and further production welding.

Preheat upto 200 Deg. C
Max. interpass temperature is 300 Deg. C
Post heat the weld joint with 250-300 Deg. C for ½ to 1 hour for dehydrogenation purpose
PWHT around 750 – 760 Deg. C and holding time based on maximum thickness involved in production welds

Gents.

Kindly advice A335 gr 9 material we do PQR...Client advice to Burging ...

1. If Burging need where is it mentioned..need to proof evidance.

2. which electorde . what is the requirment Pre heat and PWHT requirment..

Regards.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
