Re: [MW:25432] Re: Using of ER70S-6 in place of ER70S-2

The A No 1 in the WPSs and PQR with ER70S-6 is a common finding during ASME joint reviews. In such cases just insert a note in the WPS on Mn and Si max content

Your comment on ER70S-6 is most certainly untrue.  GTAW with ER70S-6 will yield superbly clean welds and exceed all X-ray requirements provided the base metal is clean to start with.  The bonus is that ER70S-6 will have significantly better impacts than ER70S-2 especially when PWHT is required.  In my experience, welders seem to like the flow and wetability characteristics of the -6 over the -2.   The downside of -6 is that as the Mn and Si are higher, it is more difficult to reduce the hardness of the weld.  Also, to meet many petro-chem requirements for A1 chemistry limits for carbon steel filler metals, one often has to specify a maximum of 1.6% Mn and 1.0%Si.  This typically is not a problem for filler metal suppliers.


Triple deoxidized ER70S-2 is often preferred for the first pass of an open root joint.  But the presence of these deoxidizers leads to welds with far more inclusions (microscopic SONIMS) than with -6.  The plethora of SONIMS results in the overall poorer impact performance.

You have not mentioned the welding process in use at your end

If it is TIG, flat no. as 70 S2 contains triple deoxidisers Al, ZN & Ti and used with argon gas.
ER 70S06 does not have them and will not give x-ray quality welds.

If it is MAG/CO2 process or with argon gas, you can go ahead. 

Ti addition alone with 70 S6 do not help. S6 also contains excessive Mn & Si and not used for 
TIG process.

Please guide- If we add Ti in ER70S-6 in range of 0.011%, what will be the effect during CO2 welding?

Dear Expert,
Please guide whether ER70S-6 can be used in place of ER70S-2. Please give code reference.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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

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, ...
