Re: [MW:34450] selecting Proper storage tank material - Advise

By Materials & Welding


Dear,

I can see that corrosion is limited only to the weld joints. If yes, then why 7018 is used for welding. 7018 is carbon steel (CS) filler and shall not be used with SS cladding in case service is corrosive otherwise galvanic corrosion will occur.

Usually the chemical MFR issue detailed MSDS where it list compatible and non-compatible material for material handling and storage. Go ask him and if CS is not suitable for the stored material inside tank, then it is mistake from tank manufacture. In simple word, if you selected internal clad of SS, then internal welds exposed to service also shall be SS not CS.

also, I can see localized corrosion which may be either 1 - wrong welding electrodes only for these welds or Improper pickling and passivation after fabrication before placing tank in-service

thanks

Dear Gents,

Kindly support selecting the proper storage tank material of Sodium Polycarboxylate.
currently, I have 100 ton CS storage tank of Sodium Polycarboxylate the internal Stainless steel 304 cladding 2mm sheets.
After one year of operation, we found corrosion spots and Sodium Polycarboxylate leakages.
internal SS 304 cladding welding joints by Argon welding - 7018 welding wires.
tank tested by water and it was excellent without any leakages.
The Sodium Polycarboxylate data sheet is attached.
I've attached photos of the corrosion.

Please advise which material I should select to fabricate a storage tank for Sodium Polycarboxylate and how to solve current corrosion spots.

thanks.

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...
