For ss310, ER 310 is good. ER 316L also we can use. On Tue, 23 Sept 2025, 1:06 pm PK M, < pkmqaqc@gmail.com > wrote: Dear All, Gas Tip material SS310.

For welding CR210 rail steel to S355JR, you can use E 8018-C3, a low hydrogen electrode. Pre-heat the joint (CR210) to 250-350   °C and maintain  a max. interpass temp of 300 °C.  Optionally, use E312-16 (high alloy Cr–Ni electrode) for buttering the rail steel and complete  with E 309L for a ductile  joint.   C Sridhar.

The PWHT is an essential parameter. The existing WPS can be used if the PWHT temperature range is within ±25°C  of the prior 631°C. Still, a holding time deviation, from 450 minutes to 180 minutes, generally requires requalification  or validation. Holding time is much stricter and should be based on material thickness and code passivity. C Sridhar.

As I received a inquiry recently, our customer insist to use BS221-6061 fin material for A179 EXTRUDED - SERRATED FIN TUBE. But our factory suggests to use  BS221-6063, as they thought 6061 is too hard to weld. Could you give some suggestion about whether 6061 could be fin material?  -- https://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/122787 --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Materials & Welding" group.

Dear Team, Kindly provide your valuable views for the below query. Regarding the interview question:  "How does a QC engineer select pipe diameter, thickness, and material for conducting a Welder Qualification Test (WQT) in a new project, assuming no QC Manager is available and without verbal consultation with the client?" QC answered as "he will clarify Min. dia. Max. thk. and the type of material as per project scope and P.O, but interviewer not satisfied to his answer " Please provide correct suggestions and reference of documents.

BS221-6061 has a higher tensile strength and is generally stronger than 6063. From a weldability point, 6061 can  lead to issues such as cracking if not handled properly during the welding process. BS221-6063 is easier to weld and has lower strength than 6061; it is often sufficient for applications where extreme  strength is not a primary concern. If the customer insists on 6061, specify a soft tempered 6061-O or 6061-T4, confirm with the fin manufacturer that  their serrating/rolling equipment and process can handle 6061 without cracking.

Apart from the  project scope, drawings, and PO he could have expanded further as,   For diameter, I'd refer to QW-452.3 and select a test pipe that covers the minimum pipe size. For thickness, I'd use QW-451for a maximum expected thickness in the project. For material, I'd check the QW-420 for P no to ensure coverage for the actual project materials  and sometimes Group No.,  if impact testing is required. This  shows code knowledge and logical project application beyond just PO checking. C Sridhar.
