Re: [MW:31712] RE: 31689] Cast iron to mild steel

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your valuable advice on consumable selection.

Appreciate it.

Hello Pravin
Cast iron is one of the difficult metals to weld. Grey cast irons are weldable subject to the original manufacturing process and grades involved. White cast irons are Unwedable. It's important to know what's the grade involved. Welding cast iron is typically a repair weld. Qualifying ASME Sec-IX procedures as like new fabrication is quite difficult. One may have to settle with reduced angle of bending in "Guided Bend Test". Some resources are attached for guidance.
Usually E-Ni-CI (99% Nickel) or ENiFe-CI(55%Ni) SMAW electrodes or GMAW fillers of equivalent composition are available for the consumable manufacturers.
If you want to know the subject well, get hold of this AWS publication.
Thanks.

Subject: [MW:31689] Cast iron to mild steel

Dear Expert,

Good day.

I have to weld cast iron to mild steel.
What would be the suitable filler rod to use?

Also is there any specific parameter or welding condition I have to follow since cast iron is difficult to weld.

Example any specific heat treatment or post heating before welding?

Kindly advice.

Best regards,
Pravin

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
