Re: [MW:27251] Welding GS-45 cast steel (modern equivalent GE240 / 1.0446)

If you are confident, yes, you can do the repair work. For machinable
weld, you can use:

1.    98 Ni (+)2 fe - (AWS/SFA  E Ni-CI)
2.    55 Ni (+) 45 Fe - (AWS/SFA  ENi-Fe-CI)
3.    65Ni (+)4Fe (+) 30Cu - (AWS/SFA- Ni-Cu B)

Pre-heat to 75- 100 deg. C to remove oil, grease, rust, paint strains and
use above electrodes. If you use any other LH electrode like E 7016,
preheat  should be on higher side (say 350deg. C) and have to maintain
inter pass temperature and slow cooling rate.

Not worried about colour matching  and chemistry try with E 308
(or) E 309. With its high ductility, these electrodes may help you at times.

Hello,

we have an old machine part with two 28 mm keyway slots ground out due wear. We need to fill up those key ways and machine new slots but due to construction limitations any other methods such as machining a replacement bore insert are not suitable.

Slots are approximately 36mm wide, 7mm deep and 140 mm long. The bore diameter where they are located is around 140mm. So far we have received mixed opinions on weldability of this material: one slight "yes might be doable with correct procedure" and two "DO NOT WELD IN ANY CASE!!!"...


So do any of you have good guidance on suitable welding procedure for cast steel GS-45?
Best regards,
Mikko Laine

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...
