| Hi, 01. The ferrite level is only important to assure minimum exposure to solidification cracking when depositing austenitic stainless steel weld metal. The lower ferrite number is better for corrosion resistance, while balancing higher ferrite content to avoid solidification cracking in the weld deposit. I would not worry about lower ferrite numbers for clad overlay welding, if no cracking is observed (Liquid Penetrant verification). 02.Very low/Less ferrite can lead to cracks Thanks & Regards, (Karthik) Karthikeyan.S QA/QC Manager Getabec Energy Co.,Ltd. 379,Moo6,Soi8,Nikhomphatana, Rayong-21180, Thailand.
