RE: [MW:22326] Compare Argon with Nitrogen as Purging gas for Super duplex stainless steels

Hi Nassef,

 

Please see the attachment for additional guidance.A change of backing gas is an essential variable for procedure qualification on DSS/SDSSs(QW-408).

 

Both Ar,or Ar+ N2 or N2+H2(formier gas) are well proven as  backing gas while welding these steels. Presence of Nitrogen containing backing gases are advisable to protect the root from unfavorable austenite/ferrite ratio.This is critical if there's a requirement of ASTM G-48A pitting corrosion test (typically 25 Deg C  for DSS and  35 DegC and above  for SDSS).

 

In absence of the above pitting corrosion tests  pure (100%) Argon may also be used for backing.

 

Thanks.

Hi Ahmed,

 

Thank you (Shukran) for the valuable information. One more question, this mix of argon and nitrogen, what ratio’s would be optimum.

 

We are Tig welding material that is 0.15mm thick. We typically weld with about 18A, and a linear speed of 50mm/sec. At this point in time we are purging with 100% Argon.

 

Regards,

 

Naasief

dear Noe Mota mixture of argon and nitrogen is the best gas purging for welding duplex and super duplex stainless steel

dear Naasief Navsa use mix of argon and nitrogen and use low heat input.
