Re: [MW:33884] Low alloy vs high alloy steel

Low alloy less than 5% of individual or aggregate of total number of alloying elements ,  greater  than 5% and less than 10.5% is medium, and above 10.5 high alloy as mentioned for low alloy.

Re: [MW:33878] Low alloy vs high alloy steel

Dear Mr. Mithlesh kumar, when we adding the total alloying elements of Cr,Ni,Mo, if the total is less than or equal to 10% this is low alloy steel, total alloys are greater than 10 % that is high alloy steel. A335 P9 - low alloy steel pipe.      Regards, Sankaran.SP Welding & Metallurgy expert Coimbatore, India.  On Wednesday, 28 December, 2022 at 11:53:51 am IST, mithlesh kumar <mithleshmech47@gmail.com> wrote: Dear expert , Please brief difference between low alloy steel vs high alloy steel.

Re: [MW:33870] Stabilizing treatment of SS plate /components

"> chromium depletion in the surrounding area. Corrosion is therefore limited to zones where niobium carbide has been re-dissolved, i.e. zones in the immedi ate vicinity of the weld. These zones are rather narrow and this type of inter granular corrosion attack is thus called knife line corrosion. Its appears only in stabilized aus tenitic materials in both the HAZ of the base metal and the HAZ of the weld metal in multi-layer welds or where there are two or more parallel weld deposits. Fig. 88 shows the appearence of some typical welded joints where intergranular corrosion has taken place according to Schabereiter [253]. After welding, these specimens were annealed in the temperature range of550-600° C and then subject ed to the Strauss test. In the unstabilized, corrosion susceptible materials (upper micrographs), intergranular corrosion attack occurs over the whole area of the weld metal (Fig. 88a) and the base metal (Fig. 88b). The specimens were taken from ...

Re: [MW:33863] Single pass fillet weld (6 mm leg length) using 1mm GMAW wire

Stainless steel is the name for a range of steels used primarily because of its  corrosion resistance. It is made up of chromium, iron and (in some cases) nickel, molybdenum and other metals. For a metal alloy (a metal made by combining  two or more metallic elements) to be considered stainless steel, it should consist  of at least 10.5% of Chromium; this composition prevents the iron in stainless  steel rusting and provides heat-resistant properties. As this is to be deemed stainless steel, a huge number of metal  alloys fall into  this category. These have been split into five groups (or families)  of stainless steel: 1)         Austenitic 2)         Ferritic 3)         Duplex 4)         Martensitic 5)         Precipitation hardening steels Of ...
