Re: [MW:35880] P6 To P5B welding consumable selection

By Materials & Welding

 

Mr. Bilal,

Your base metals are, Tube Sheet: SA 182 F6A Cl.2 → P-No. 6, Gr. 3 (13% Cr martensitic stainless steel) 

and Tube: SA 213 T9 → P-No. 5B (9Cr-1Mo ferritic steel).


Recommended GTAW fillers are ER80S-B8 for strength-bearing joints. Though ER309L/ER309LMo are 

used for dissimilar welding between Cr-Mo and martensitic stainless steels, buttering helps prevent hard, 

brittle martensite at the fusion zone. ERNiCr-3 (Inconel 82) is a better choice for providing crack resistance 

and avoiding PWHT; i.e., for buttering, you can use ERNiCr-3, and for tube welding, use ER80S-B8.


PWHT is not required for tube-to-tube sheet seal welds. Buttering with ERNiCr-3 or ER309L also helps to 

avoid  PWHT in the assembly, as it controls hardness.

C Sridhar.

Dear Team,
   
 I want to confirm about the consumable selection and PWHT requirement (chromium content greater than 3%) for tube to tubesheet joint. Material is listed below,
1. TUBE SHEET:  SA 182 F6A CL2(P#6 Gr.3) 80MM thickness.
2. TUBE : SA 213 T9(P # 5B) 19mm dia 3 mm thickness.
Below confirmation is requested,
1. Consumable for GTAW?
2. PWHT requirement?

Best Regards,
M Bilal

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
