Re: [MW:19642] Duplex UNS 31803 - FCAW Shielding Gas

By Materials & Welding

Dear Mr.Sridhar
Thank you for detailed explaination.
Can you share any data for preheat methods for SS, duplex and other high alloys to be allowed in oil gas , refineries. Because we are using LPG to remove moisture in heavy thk. for duplex header boxes in korea.
Regards
Saravanan

Welding duplex material UNS 31803

TIG welding is usually performed with pure argon as the shielding gas. Resistance to, in particular, pitting corrosion can be considerably raised by the addition of up to 2% nitrogen. However, because the risk of pores  increases with increased nitrogen content, the latter should not exceed 2%. The addition of around 30% helium markedly increases arc energy and thus enables a considerable increase (20–30%) in welding speed. In the welding of duplex steels, the addition of hydrogen is not to be recommended. In combination with the high ferrite content (over 70%), this can lead to hydrogen embrittlement. Single-sided root beads must be welded with a backing gas. This is normally the same as the shielding gas.   A backing gas should also be used for tack welding all the way up until weld thickness is at least 8 mm.
 
FCAW is most suitably performed using argon with an addition of 16–25% carbon dioxide as the shielding gas. Welding with pure carbon dioxide is also possible, but arc stability and weld pool control are noticeably poorer. However, compared with a mixed gas, one advantage is that penetration is slightly better. Also compared with a mixed gas, the voltage should be increased by 2–3 volts when welding with pure carbon dioxide. This prevents the arc being too short.

Also enclosing filler wire details and  hope it will of help to you.

Dear Welding Experts ,

Could you please share quite urgently that,

which shielding gas is best applicable for FCAW-GS for welding Duplex material grade UNS 31803 ( P No. 10H ) and why ?

Also, share the best Preheat method for high alloy steels to remove moisture and for high thk joint applications .

Awaiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan,
Korea.

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, ...
