Hi

My experience with LAS welding by GTAW

Filler wire with above 1.4 Cr say EB2

It is better to use Argon purging for FPW for GTAW to avoid Oxidation of weld for root

For Gr 22 purging is not required

You can do following 

Use lower dis filler wire dia 1.6 

Use injection purging. Method means : inject. Gas from groove root gap

This shall ensure better quality of Welding

Dear Mr.Alpesh,

As your statement is wrong.as per API RP 582 Shielding and Purging Gases Clause 7.3 Back purging is required for the GTAW and GMAW processes for welding materials having a nominal chromium

content greater than 2-1/4 %,

So you better try back purging....... 

Thanks.

Dear experts,

We are facing problems with welding of SA 213 Gr T22 superheater tubes of thickness 2.9mm.

Generally, back purging with inert gas in GTAW is not necessary for P22 as Cr is less than 3%. However, during welding without use of back purging, Oxide formation is happening. The construction of the equipment is such that, purging is very difficult to achieve.

Kindly Guide us to eliminate the oxidation of root.

Thanking you,

Alpesh
