    Vacuum arc and electroslag remelting process

    Hi Richard Thanks for your valuable post. In fact, our vendor of the steam turbine driver of a compressor has changed the material of the blades from A422-2 to A422-3 and the difference was in the manufacturing process which A422-2 is by vacuum arc and the A422-3 is by electroslag.I did like...

    Direct contact between SS and CS material

    Thank you unclesyd , We r not going to isolate two mating flanges but to isolate the ss stub-end piece from the cs lap joint type flange.Gaskets are generally used for isolation of two mating flanges and actually we have the gaskets in between the two stub ends. I hope that I could understand...

    Direct contact between SS and CS material

    What is a good engineering practice to avoid direct contact between a stainless steel pipe with stub end connection and carbon steel lap joint flange ? Will painting the lap joint flange suffice? My second question :To bolt up two stainless steel flanges with CS stud bolts and nuts ,what is the...
