Re: [MW:34240] ER80S-G/ER80S-Ni1

By Materials & Welding

Dear,

There is no Chemical composition specified in SFA  5.28   ER 80SG in accordance with ASME Sec.IIC and as long as it meets the other requirements of the Code, Manufacturer has the option to vary the chemical composition. Normally in ASME equipment, we get each Batch/lot of the Manufacturer's welding consumable certificate certified by an ASME AI that it belongs to a unique A-Number.

Similarly in Pipeline jobs, ER 80S-G is not specified in Filler metal grouping according to API 1104 2021 edition as per the snapshot below.

Since your PQR is qualified with ER80S-G, you can do production jobs with each batch of filler certified by Client.

But client requirement for Repair is to use ER 80SNi-1 which has a restricted chemical composition mostly restricting Ni less than 1% for sour service.

Hence you have to produce the Welding Manufacturer Consumable certificate for ER 80S-G  & ER80SNi-1(code reference) to the Client and assure that the chemical compositions of both Filler are matching or are within the Limits of ER80SNi-1 code requirement. 

Thanks & Regards

Dear experts,

I would appreciate your valuable response regarding the following inquiry.

The filler wire mentioned below is approved for our normal Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Welding Procedure Specification (WPS):

·        AWS Classification: ER80S-G

·        SFA Specification: 5.28

·        API 1104 Group: 5

·        Trade Name: PIPELINER 80Ni1

·        Base metal API 5L Gr. X65

However, for repair welding joints, our approved WPS (GMAW Welding) specifies the use of the following filler wire:

·        AWS Classification: ER80S-Ni1

·        SFA Specification: 5.28

·        API 1104 Group: 5

·        Trade Name: PIPELINER 80Ni1

·        Base metal API 5L Gr. X65

Unfortunately, my team used AWS Classification ER80S-G for the repair welding using Repair WPS.

I would like to know if this deviation is acceptable or if any corrective actions are necessary.

Thank you for your expertise and guidance.


Regards,

Baqer

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

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
