RE: [MW:25281] Pitting corrosion test failure

Mr. Prasad,

 

You've problem with shielding gas selection. For Any DSS or SDSS, Ar+N2(up to 2%) is considered to be beneficial to balance the Ferrite+Austenite Ratio.It's the proven truth.

Typically DSS 2205 should pass the ASTM G-48A test if welded with due care, shielding gas selection etc.

 

Surface preparation etc  may help, however competent Lab personnel would very well know what to do about surface preparation.

 

In the same note did the BM and Filler metal were tested for G48A test.That's important.

 

Hope the above tips would help you.

 

Look forward to your response.

 

Thanks.

Mr.Prasad,

ASTM G48 test is considered to be a check of metallurgical condition of DSS rather than of its performance in any service environment.

We had a similar case.Then client requirements changed and it was asked to perform test according to ASTM A923 Method C which we passed.

Consult your client this may help you.

Regards,

Mohammed

Hi,

At the below temperature it should pass. Is your end product will be picked and passivated?? If yes, pls do the picking and passivation of test sample, it should pass.

Hi Prasad,
Most of the tests fail also due to improper sample preparation or wrong dimensions during calculation of weight loss. Ask for a retest for 2 samples.

Dear experts,

We had pittng corrosion failure in duplex stainless  steel 2205
Process: GTAW
Thk: 7.62mm
Filler: ER2209
Product: pipe
Heat input observed: 1.5 to 2.5kj
Gas: argon 99.9997purity
Weight loss reqd is <4g/sq.mtr, achieved 21g/sq.mtr
Testing is done as per ASTM G48

Can any one tell me why this failure occured, what could be the reason?

Regards
Prasad
