Re: [MW:34421] Corrosion Test Fail For Duplex Steel

By Materials & Welding
1. The suitable welding consumable for welding SA 790 (UNS32205) is ER2209.
2. To pass ASTM G48 test, some  prefer using ER 2594  for the root pass (though it is a super Duplex SS).
3. The formation of Intermetallic compounds as detected IN ASTM A923 is because of below reasons.

    a.  Use of higher Alloy content consumable.
    b.  High Heat Input which in turn  reduces the cooling rate and inturn increase the time spent in the higher         
         temperature region which results in forming Intermettalic phases like Sigma phase and Chi phase.

Please provide a copy of WPS to understand the welding conditions. 

Also provide ASTM A923 Test Report.

Thanks & Regards

I am currently working on developing a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) for Duplex Steel. In the process, I conducted welding using the base material SA 790 (UNS:32205) and utilized two different filler wires: ER-2594 and ER-Nicr-Mo-14 for different coupons. Size of the coupon 6" Thick:10.97 mm.

However, I encountered a concern during the corrosion testing phase, as per ASTM A923-03 standards. Both test materials failed the corrosion test. I'm seeking guidance from the experts in this group to understand the possible reasons for the failure and to explore potential solutions or alternative approaches.

If anyone has experience with similar issues or insights into the matter, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

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...
