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.

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

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
