As Pradip explained, ER NiCrMo3 is the best for DSS

Hi Ahmed,

 

In order to facilitate a complete repair an all position grove welding procedure would be the best option. Provided that's mandated by your client.

One thing which is still unclear, why your client is insisting on ERNiCrMo15 filler (Special Metals 725NDUR or similar) to be used. A few rationales behind this question are as follows:-

 

  1. Duplex & super duplex stainless steels are easily repairable with matching filler metals
  2. In case your client wants to insist on austenitic filler metals or electrodes with superior corrosion resistance, higher PREN, then filler metals/ electrodes conforming to alloy 625 is commonly specified.
  3. However please note that DSS and SDSS are always applied for challenging and extremely high corrosive environments .Thus use of under matching or over matching fillers/ electrodes definitely have impacts on the over all corrosion resistance and integrity of any component.
  4. Alloy 725 is recommended, where age -hardening heat treatment or PWHT is specified. DSS and SDSS do not require any PWHT.

 

Looking at your query on Procedure qualification, qualification of PQR on pipes or plate would be a much better option than qualifying the same on a round bar.

 

It would be advisable to get the first hand engineering information about the product to be repaired by welding, such as base metal, design/ operating conditions, design requirements, corrosion requirements  and so on.

 

Appreciate your response.

 

Thanks.

Dear All

We have to do repair and weld built up on duplex stainless steel base metal with inconel filler (ERNiCrMo15; SFA-5.14) as suggested by Client. 

Process GTAW

 

We need to qualify a procedure as per ASME section IX on DSS Round bar of 40mm

 

Expected qualification.

All duplex base metal.

Weld repair thickness: all thicknesses

All diameter

All positions

 

Kindly advise 

1: Whether groove weld qualification will be good option for it or any other option.

 

2: Whether PQR  testing is possible on round bar

 

3: Whether given Filler metal is suitable.

 

4: How to get side bend test specimen to comply Sec. IX

 

5: Any other test other than tensile and bend test to be done.

 

Kindly respond with reference to ASME Sec IX.

 

With best regards

Ahmad

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...
