E8018-B8 and E8015-B8 both are basic low alloy steel electrode having same chemical composition of undiluted weld metal & mechanical properties and being used for the welding of 7 to 9 Cr-Mo type steel. You can also use it to weld 5Cr-1/2Mo to 7 to 9 Cr-Mo dissimilar weld joint.

The min difference is in the coating & electrical characteristics. E8015-B8 coating is having sodium silicate binding and hence can be used only for DCEP polarity.
While E8018-B8 having potassium silicate binding in the coating which enable to be used on DCEP and AC polarity, with added iron powder they enable better conductivity for current flow via the electrode coating & hence higher weld deposition.

E8018-B8 i having better arc striking & stabling quality than the E8015-B8 due to coating characteristics. E8015-B8 is having improved characteristics for the pipe welding compare to the other one involved in this discussion.

Thanks & regards

Dear Experts,

Can any body differentiate between the electrodes E8018 B-8 & E8015 B-8, and the difference of applicable areas.

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, ...
