Re: [MW:8803] Difference between E-7016 & E-7018

By Materials & Welding

Dear Sil,


Both are Basic type, low hydrogen rods and having similar strength, but E7016 is without the iron powder in flux.


E7016 :Low hydrogen potassium Electrode ( not BASIC SODIUM LOW HYDROGEN; E7015 is Low hydrogen sodium electrode)

E7016's have less slag than E7018's so are better for root-run, positional welding (better controlled positionally) than E7018, easy deslagging and baking/redry not required

 

E7018 :Low hydrogen potassium, iron powder Electrode

E7018 has iron powder added to the flux, which goes into the weld-pool when the rod is burned, so more metal is deposited. Baking/redry required.

 

Both electrodes having F no. 4. You can use E7018 instead of E7016, here essential variable (F no.) not changed, but re-write your WPS accordingly.

Subject: [MW:8784] Difference between E-7016 & E-7018

Dear sir,
What is the quality wise difference between E-7018 ( BASIC LOW HYDROGEN) & E-7016 ( BASIC SODIUM LOW HYDROGEN).Can i use E-7018 insted of E-7016.
Where is the specific area of these two electrode
regards
sil

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...

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

By Materials & Welding
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...
