[MW:32374] RE: Black spots on DSS Weld Joints.

Hello,

 

Please see my responses to this old post (2104) in materials-welding forum as below.. These spots may occur:-

• Due to wire drawing residues (often very microscopic) in the filler wires. Rubbing with emery papers and acetones may clear some of these residues.
• Traces of cleaning products left on the Duplex base metals, called smuts .
• These dark spots may be removed by power brushing with stainless steel brushes or soft abrasive(Aluminized)  grinding tools.

 

You may see the attachment for additional guidance.

 

Thanks.

Hi All,

 

We are also facing the same issue in SDSS welds on 6" Pipe welded with ER2594.

 

Can anybody let me know the root cause for this spots and remedy.
