[MW:31897] RE: 31877] E316L -15for Type 304L SS welding -cryogenic services

Hi Sudhakar,

The rationale provided in your clients' specification on SMAW welding consumable for -196⁰ C impact is not correct. SMAW and GTAW consumables conforming to 308L grades will happily meet the Charpy impact requirements @ -196⁰ C.

308L SMAW welding electrodes are well formulated and manufactured to meet -196⁰ C impact. You may take look at the products of Kobelco, NC 38LT(308L) & NC 36LT(316L).

In fact, 308L welding consumables always exhibits superior impact than SS 316L at -196⁰ C.

Sec VIII, DIV-1, UHA -51, illustrates the various technical requirements for cryogenic -196⁰ C design services , including "Ferrite Requirements".

Thanks.

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.

Regards

sudhakar

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
