Re: [MW:28360] RE: 28355] Water Vapor in welded joints

Hi

I also experienced the same but my observation is perticularly in night shift where welders are not particular about removing and cleaning the slag from welded joint and remains till morning Such practices causing moisture accumulation in the visinity of such jt

Therefore We had made mandatory to clean the weld joint free of slag Which has given us good results

Hi,

This is a case of moisture condensation. It's possible if the relative humidity(RH) factor is high, typically above 60% or more. In Indian subcontinent after the Monsoon RH could be very high contributing to this. Where's the location of your plant? Do you have any humidity control in the shop floor?, it may help.

Stainless steel does not require any preheating however some preheating ( typically up to 30-40 DegC)  is advisable to get rid of the moisture accumulation, typically happening due to condensation.

 

Thanks.

Dear Veterans, 

 

After the cooling of weld joints, water vapor is seen in the surface of weld joints. What is the reason? This is particularly seen in SS welded joints.
