Re: [MW:34493] Re: ER70S-2 and ER70S-6 (GTAW Process)

By Materials & Welding

Due to triple deoxidizers present in the filler, the ER70S-2 wire is much more suited to weld on rusted surfaces 

compared to ER70S-6. Rust, which is an iron oxide, will react very fast with Ti, Zr, or Al to form their oxides, such 

as TiO2 or ZrO2 or Al2O3 thus the Mn will be saved. Mn provides strength and toughness to the weldment. So, 

any loss of Mn from the weld deposit will actually reduce the strength of the weld metal.

 

Loss of silicon will make the weld pool sluggish and can result in a poor weld bead appearance. There is no 

difference between ER 70S-6 and ER 70S-2 based on the mechanical properties, as both have 70ksi Tensile 

strength and 58 Ksi Yield strength. Both wires provide equal minimum specified tensile strength, yield strength, 

ductility, and toughness values.

  

ER 70S-6 is a solid TIG rod that is used for general-purpose welding. It can be used on MS, CS and LA  steels.

ER 70S-2 is available in 0.80 to 3.20 mm sizes, whereas ER 70S0-6 is available mostly in 0.80 to 2.00 mm sizes. 

Make a mock-up weld and see whether it meets X-ray qualified welds and check the mechanical properties prior 

to any further action.

You can write ER70S-6 with a note in WPS that :

Mn content shall not exceed 1.6 % 
Si content shall not exceed 1.0 % 

Thanks

Dear All,

My PQR is qualified with ER70S-2.

Can I use ( Mention) ER70S-6 in WPS.

Regards

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...
