Re: [MW:35240] Overlay welding defects

Mr. Gowtahm,

Using an LPG burner or furnace is fine. Argon gas supplier is OK. 

Please send a photo of your defects and setup if possible and weld parameters like ampere, 

voltage, stick-out, travel speed (not rotation time), torch angle if you are using an SPM, gas 

flow rate, oscillation width, and position of the contact tip in the nozzle (is it inside or 

outside—if so, how much, type/make of the welding equipment, nozzle opening, etc. to 

diagnose the issues.

Dear sir,

Thank you for your feedback sir.

We use LPG Cylinder for Preheat dia above 1000mm,We use Furnace for Small sizes.

Argon Gas Used Praxair ( Linde).

The below points,We will check in the Process.

If you are using the GMAW process, make sure to keep a lower stick out and the correct amount of shielding 

gas flow rate. A very low/high gas flow rate or welding without a flow meter may also induce porosity. 

Make sure not to open the Argon cylinder fully, as it may increase gas flow velocity and may induce pinholes.

Mainly the defect is noticed in the Bore bottom Radius Area ,Second one Continuous dotted line in the Overlapping.

Mr. Gowtham,

These sorts of problems are common in overly welding. 

Please make sure that jobs are preheated properly (not with Oxy-fuel gas; it may create pinholes) 

using LPG, according to your WPS.

Make sure that the Argon gas is procured from a reputed brand and not from a local manufacturer

as it may not be pure even though certified for a 99.99% purity level.

The overlay should not be done in an open area where air circulation is more and should be well-protected 

from fan breeze, etc.

If required, use UHP Argon (99.999% pure), but it will be very costly.

GTAW and plasma arc welding could be more appropriate for the overlay technique.

If you are using the GMAW process, make sure to keep a lower stick out and the correct amount of shielding 

gas flow rate. A very low/high gas flow rate or welding without a flow meter may also induce porosity. 

Make sure not to open the Argon cylinder fully, as it may increase gas flow velocity and may induce pinholes.

Hope the above information will be of help to you.

C Sridhar.

Onderwerp: [MW:35217] Overlay welding defects

Dear Experts,

Welding Overlay, After Machining the Pin holes and blow holes noticed in Overlapping Joint area, After attend the defects, It will open some other places, The defects noticed Uniform inline.   ( Overlay Material ,316L ,Inconel 625 ,St6 & ST21,Base Material WCB/LCB),

How to prevent the defects?

Regards,

R.Gowtham.
