Re: [MW:35656] CONSUMABLE SELECTION P9, P5B, P8 Base metal.

By Materials & Welding

For welding the specified base metals—P9 to P9, P5B to P5B, and P5B to P8 (304H)—the selection of consumables (filler metals) must 

consider the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and service conditions of these materials.

Consumables for Joining P9 to P9

·        P9 corresponds to 9Cr-1Mo steels (Chromium-Molybdenum steels).

·        Recommended filler metals for welding P9 to P9 are typically E80S-B8 or E8016B8/E8018-B8 electrodes for GTAW or corresponding 

       solid wires for SMAW.

·        Preheat and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) are essential to avoid cracking and ensure weld integrity.

Consumables for Joining P5B to P5B

·        P5B includes 5%Cr, 0.5%Mo often used in high-temperature, creep-resistant applications.

·        Common filler metals include ER80S-B6 or E8016-B6/E8018-B6 low alloy wires, which match the Cr-Mo content and provide good 

       weldability and creep strength.

·        Preheat and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is mandatory for P5B welds to achieve crack free weld.

Consumables for Joining P5B to P8 (304H SS)

·        This is a dissimilar metal weld between a Cr-Mo steel (P5B) and an austenitic stainless steel (P8 304H).

·        The filler metal must accommodate differences in thermal expansion and metallurgical compatibility.

·        Nickel-based filler metals such as ERNiCrFe-2 or ERNiCrFe-3 (AWS A5.11 or A5.14 classifications) are preferred for joining these dissimilar 

       because they provide good corrosion resistance and reduce the risk of cracking caused by dilution and thermal mismatch.

·        Austenitic stainless steel fillers like ER309 are not recommended for P5B to P8 welds due to dilution issues and stress concentration. Instead, 

       nickel-based alloys with higher corrosion resistance and ductility are used.

·       This selection ensures metallurgical compatibility, mechanical integrity, and service life of the welds involving these materials. Proper welding 

       procedure and heat treatment are critical, especially for creep-resistant steels like P5B and P9.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
