Hi Kianoush,
Attached are some guidelines on A/SA-517 steel. This steel is a Q&T steel contains various alloying elements (different grades have different compositions). Welding of this steel would require a precise control of heat input and welding parameters and correct selection of welding electrodes.
Generally there's no electrodes of exact matching chemistry for this steel. However if I have to make a choice , the preference would be either E-9018/10018/11018M SMAW electrodes and matching GTAW, GMAW and SAW filer depending on the process and extent of fabrication involved.
Many fabricators may prefer E-9018/10018/11018G (General Low Alloy Steel) electrodes, but if the desired chemistry is specified beforehand, so that there would not be any later surprises?
What's the design code ? For fabricating A-517 steel one has to incorporate strictly the design code requirements.
Let me know if the attached information helps you or not?.
Thanks.
