I agree that corrosion is one of very big culprit and reason why we must keep SS and CS separate.

From Welding point of view, one must NOT mix CS and SS, because they  have different mechanical properties.

CS is more ductile than SS, and if you mix during welding you will not get desired welding strength.

in cladding we use CS and SS both together, but we can not say it mixing, it is bonding, and both of them are playing their on role.

Thanks & Regards,

Soni.

CS and SS shall not be mixed and shall not come into contact with each other - 
 
 Reason when both SS and CS stocked together, carbon steel debris, particles, or scales will stick to the SS surfaces. Girinding particles from carbon steel will also fall on SS surfaces. These foreign particles or debris are have high carbon content and have anodic properties.   Anodic materials or particles can be corroded away easily, or you can say corrosion will start on the SS materials because of this carbon particles (it is obvious that carbon steels are prone to be corroded, if not painted). These foreign matters deposited on SS surfaces can create pitting corrosion on SS surfaces. Simply saying oxidation on SS will start because of this foreign matters or debris on carbon steels.
 
That is why most spec demands separate storage area and fabrication area for CS and SS.
 
CS and Alloy steels -  this also should not be mixed. but here corrosion is not the reason.  You cannot distinguish between CS and Alloy steel visually as both looks same. and you cannot identify which is CS and which is AS unless you have some marking or colour coding system. Both have equal affinity to corrosion. That is Colour coding of Alloy steels are must.

Hi ,


Can anyone pls let me know the reason why SS and CS should not mixed? Is it the same for CS and Alloy Steels???

Thanks and Regards

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, ...
