[MW:35668] Selection of Filler/Electrode.

Dear Gentlemen,

Kindly advise me as we have tube to tubesheet joint.

Tube moc is incoloy 800

And tubesheet moc is F53 SDSS (Super duplex stainless steel).

For incoloy-800 -- P NO : 45

For F53 SDSS-- P NO: 10H

Which filler wire is applicable please suggest.

Best Regards,

John

[MW:35669] Clarification on Pressure Drop During Hydro test Due to Temperature Variation

Dear Experts,

During a hydrostatic test, we observed a gradual pressure drop of approximately 0.7 bar in a 2-inch pipe with a length of 31 meters. The test pressure was 12.5 bar. This issue has occurred in multiple tests.

We request your explanation regarding the relationship between pressure and temperature, and how temperature variations can affect hydrotest results.Also, we seek clarification on the acceptable pressure drop limits considering potential temperature changes during the test.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Vinoth G

Re: [MW:35670] Selection of Filler/Electrode.

For best results, use AWS A 5.14 ER Ni Cr-3 (Incoloy 800) filler wire for the weld metal when joining the Incoloy 800 tube to Super Duplex 

F53 SDSS tube sheet. This filler wire provides good compatibility with both materials, accommodates differences in thermal stability, and 

maintains corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. 

Alternatively, AWS A 5.14 ERNiCrMo-3 (Inconel 625) could be used for a Chloride rich or acidic atmosphere.

rgds,

C Sridhar.

Sir, 

With reference to your query regarding the required tests for corrosion resistant overlay procedure and performance qualification as per ASME Section IX, Table QW-453, in addition to the mentioned LPT and bend tests, the following supplementary tests are recommended—especially considering the application for overlay:

1. Chemical Analysis – As per ASME Section IX Figure QW-462.5(a) to verify composition of the deposited layer. Attached snapshot 

2. Hardness Survey – In accordance with NACE MR0175 to ensure compatibility with sour service, if applicable.

3. Metallographic Examination – To assess overlay quality, dilution, and fusion characteristics.

4. Microstructure Examination – Typically conducted at 100X to 500X magnification.

5. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – To check for disbondment between the base metal and overlay.

Please ensure these tests are reviewed in alignment with project or client-specific requirements.

BR, 

Deerendra

Re: [MW:35677] Welding electrodes

S355 is a medium-strength structural steel, and think the rail has  0.4–0.8% Carbon. The 70mm thick rail requires preheating to 250–300°C to 

reduce thermal stresses and prevent hydrogen cracking. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may also be needed depending on the rail grade.

E7018 (3.2mm or 4.0mm) is suitable as the first choice. Alternatively, consider E8018-C1 for better toughness and it has better compatibility

compared to E 7018 due to its Nickel  addition .

Re: [MW:35680] Welding electrodes

S355 is a structural steel grade with a minimum yield strength of 355 Mpa and has 1.0–1.6% Mn. R260 is a rail steel grade with a 

tensile strength of 700–900 Mpa, 0.6–0.8% C and 0.8–1.3% Mn. It is prone to martensitic formation during welding due to its higher 

Carbon content. Carbon Equivalent (CE) for R260 is 0.8–1.0 and for S355, 0.4–0.5.

 

E7018-1 (AWS A5.1) with a 1.0–1.6% Mn suits R260 which has a higher Mn. Alternatively, E8018-G or E10018-D2 provide enhanced 

strength and toughness. Preheat R 260 to 200–250°C and possibly PWHT (600-650⁰C) may be required depending on its thickness 

and critical applications. Ensure proper joint design to manage stress. Qualify a procedure as per relevant codes.

[MW:35681] Welding Expertise Required for Dissimilar Materials

Dear Expert's

I hope this email finds you well. I am working on a project involving welding of dissimilar materials. The materials are IS 2062 E250 Gr.BR and AISI 420.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

1. Suitable electrodes for welding IS 2062 E250 BR to AISI 420 using:
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process
2. Equivalent material specification for AISI 420 as per ASME standards

Your expertise would be greatly appreciated in helping us determine the most suitable welding approach and materials for this project.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Pankaj Choudhary

Re: [MW:35682] Welding Expertise Required for Dissimilar Materials

Dear Sir,

We appreciate your detailed query regarding the welding of dissimilar materials—IS 2062 E250 Gr.BR (a carbon structural steel) to AISI 420 (a martensitic stainless steel). Please find our recommendations below:

---

1. Suitable Electrodes for Dissimilar Welding

a) SMAW Process (Shielded Metal Arc Welding):

For joining IS 2062 to AISI 420, austenitic stainless steel electrodes are generally preferred to accommodate the differences in mechanical and metallurgical properties. We recommend:

• E309L-16 or E309-16
  These electrodes offer good compatibility with both carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel, while providing austenitic weld metal that helps reduce cracking.

b) GMAW Process (Gas Metal Arc Welding):

For GMAW (MIG welding), suitable filler wires would be:

• ER309L or ER309
  These wires provide excellent fusion and mechanical properties for dissimilar welding between carbon steel and stainless steel.

Note: Preheat may be required (especially for AISI 420) to reduce hardness and cracking tendencies. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may also be considered depending on the service condition.

---

2. Equivalent Specification for AISI 420 as per ASME Standards:

• The nearest ASME equivalent for AISI 420 is typically UNS S42000, which corresponds to:

  • SA-240 Type 420 (for plate),

  • or SA-182 Type 420 (for forged bars and flanges),

  • or SA-479 Type 420 (for bars and shapes).

Re: [MW:35634] Can we avoid PWHT for P No.5A to P No.1 , 10mm weld joint ?

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your explanation. 

As the vessel design based on Sec VIII Div-1, and if our client  insists to do PWHT for that joint,

 Case 1) can we do a pqr by buttering with ERNiCr-3 on P No.5A plate and butt weld with same filler for this dissimilar joint to avoid pwht.

Because,  for P no.1 , the holding temperature is about 600 deg C and for P No.5A, the holding temperature is about 675 degrees C as per Sec VIII Div1,.

Case 2) Or , when we do pwht for this joint using ER80S-B2 filler,  can we use higher holding temperature of 675 degree C .

METALLURGICALLY, is it safe ?

Please confirm. 

Thanks and Regards, 

Saravanan Sornam,

Dear Sirs ,

 

We have a project with both shell and Reinforcement Pad materials SA516-70, 10 mm Thk ( P No.1 ) and the Nozzle is SA335-P22, 4" Sch 120 , 

11.1 mm ( P No.5A ) Thk.

 We already have a qualified WPS & PQR with 8mm GTAW and tested about 10 years ago by other welding engineer, for P No,.5A to P No.1 without PWHT and it was satisfactorily passed and we 

have used that WPS & PQR for the previous project 10 years ago and no 

issues found without PWHT.

 Now for the new project, we are going to use the same WPS and apply 

Preheat ( 204 to 250 Deg C ) as per the WPS for 10mm Shell Thk by 

multipass welding, refer to the below sketches.

So, i would like to confirm whether PWHT is mandatory as per UCS-56-4 ?

Can we avoid PWHT for this 10mm weld joint ?

Or Should we do buttering with ERNiCr-3 on P No.5A bevel and butt weld 

with same filler for this dissimilar joint to avoid PWHT after making new 

PQR with buttering?

Please confirm soon.

In essence, an IP pipe joint is any connection made between pipes that are sized using the IPS or NPS standards, regardless of the specific connection method.
