Re: [MW:11548] GMAW application restriction

By Materials & Welding
Hi,
 
If you application invloves welding of pipes (Where back chipping is not possible), there are two options for welding the root pass.
 
1. Use electrodes E 6010 or E 7010 (cellulosic Electrodes) or E 7016-1 for non critical lines (e.g., lines other than compressor suction / inlet lines).
2. Use STT (Surface Tension Transfer) Process for root pass, it is similar to GMAW short circuit transfer mode of metal transfer. You'll need to properly set the welding parameters to avoid any LOF, but once your welders are well trained, you can really see the productivity. Please note that some clients still have a restriction on using this process.
 
If you application involves fabrication of pressure vessels, where you have enough access for back chipping the root pass, and you wish not to do so, then SAW is a good option.
 
The joint preparation shall be such that the root face or the land should be long enough to prevent any burn though when welding the root pass, in addition to that you'll have to have tight butt joint (i.e.,) no root gap at all.
 
After completion of one side, weld the other side (without back chipping) with SAW process, you parameters should be such that you have good cross penetration (engulfing the lan or root face) thus giving you a full penetration butt joint without the need for back chipping.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Regards,
 
Praveen Alavandar

there is electrode , which is having good penetration power i.e. E7010 ,  get check with the manufacture

Dear,,
 
With out chip back. I want the process which can replace slower GTAW for single sided full penetration joint with out any chip back

Is there any option of GTAW for root run to be carried out in pressure vessel welding?

There is no limitation for  GMAW in ASME code. But pay attention that some of gas cavities made in weld metal that are acceptable according to codes, but it's make may risk for hydrogen induce. Then this process is commonly used for structural equipment's, not in pressure parts.

generally GMAW is used for the filling & capping only.generally the amout of heat produced in this process also there will be chances of lack of fusion at the edges ( fusion boundaries ) the torch cup also makes sometimes for welding in the joint.But this process limited to only low pressure . You can follow with the s maw root & hot ,followed by remaining g maw .

Dear All,

 

Why GMAW is not widely used for single sided full penetration joints (with out chip back) for pressure vessel industrial applications?

Is there any problem regarding to penetraiton or lack of fusion? I am confusing. Request you to give technical answer.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
