[MW:25373] RE: 25367] SAW flux with low hydrogen content

By Materials & Welding

Hi Meisam,

 

You need to trust on the certification provided by the consumable manufacturer. Typically all reputed SAW welding consumable manufacturers carry out wire flux classification test, along with which they need to carry out the test for diffusible hydrogen content also.

 

Look at ASME Sec II, Pt C-SFA 5.17 for typical guidelines( I find this to be better explained)

 

AWS standard for diffusible hydrogen content is: (AWS A4.3-93-2006),. Standard Methods for Determination of Diffusible Hydrogen Content of Martensitic, Bainitic, and Ferritic Steel Weld Metal . This process is quite tedious. Only knowledgeable labs who test welding consumables on a regular basis, are capable of doing. One needs to find out more details before proceeding with the welded samples.

 

Hope this clarifies your doubt. Read through the following document for more details.

 

Thanks

Dear Experts

 

I need some information about standard method or test procedure which introduce testing on SAW flux to assure low hydrogen content.

 

For example when I have BS EN ISO 14174 / S A FB 1 65 AC H5 flux, How could I assure this is H5?

 

Regards

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
