Experts

Below  requirement given in one LNG project... 

Welding Consumables:
1. SMAW Consumables for Type 304L Stainless Steel Impact Tested at -196°C (-320°F).
Consumable:
ASME Specification SFA 5.4 in Part C, Section II Material Specification
- AWS Classification E316L-15
Certification and Testing:
ASME Specification SFA 5.01 in Part C, Section II Material Specification
- Lot Classification - C5
- Level of testing - Schedule K
Testing Requirements for each Lot of electrode:
Each Lot of electrode shall be certified with the minimum following testing:
- Chemical analysis of weld metal to meet the requirements for classification E316L
except the maximum phosphorus shall be 0.03% and the maximum sulphur shall be
0.02%.
- Delta ferrite determination per paragraph A6.9 of SFA 5.4. The weld metal shall be
a maximum Ferrite Number of 2 FN.
- Charpy V-notch impact test shall be performed on the weld metal in accordance
with SFA 5.4, paragraph A9.3.1. The weld test assembly shall be prepared and
welded with CVN specimens removed as per paragraph A9.3.5 of SFA 5.4. Five
impact specimens shall be tested at -196°C (-320F). The lowest and highest values
obtained shall be disregarded. The three remaining values shall be equal to, or
exceed, 20 mils of lateral expansion. The energy in ft-lbs and the percent ductile
fracture areas shall be reported for information.

Question
1) what is the technical  Reason behind for E316L -15 for Type 304L SS welding  SMAW process -cryogenic , however for GTAW process ER308L specified for Type 304L welding.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
