I have a small job to repair some cracking on an impeller cast from 205 Stainless.
What filler material is recommended and shielding gas (Ar+Nitrogen?) GTAW process.
Cheers
In reviewing a PQR, I notice one of the two tensile tests is reported to have a brittle fracture in the weld metal, both fail in the weld metal. Min tensile stress for this material is 485 MPa the tests results are 650 and 696 MPa (the brittle one). Both side bends are reported as being ok...
Has anybody had any success or experience with joint welding of Titanium using PTA? I am looking at the possibility of attaching a trailing shroud to the torch.
The few enquiries I have made thus far, nobody has heard of this being done.
I have a repair where I need to join GR1 to GR12. The application is cladding over carbon steel. Both Ti grades are bonded to the carbon steel and I plan to replace a small section which has failed in service due bad welding practise. The repair weld would laid on to a GR12 backing bar in the...
I am having an issue with porosity welding super duplex. I have never come across this before. With process of elimination I feel my issue is procedural rather than gas (type or lack of coverage), contaminants, nasty base material or welding consumable, welding machine.

I am going to run a PQR joining 625 (solution annealed) to itself using NiCrMo-3 filler. GTAW in the root and deposit 6mm of weld metal. Then GMAW-Pulse for the remainder. The test plates will be 40mm thick and double U Preps will be machined at 60 deg included.
What shielding gas is...
The workshop has a bubble which has been collecting dust. There is a Ti job on the books so I thought it would be good idea to get it out and set it up.
After filling with bubble with 100% Ar, the purge meter reading oxygen 0.5%, I ran a bead with GTAW on some carbon steel which produced...
Hi,
I have a casting made to ASTM A890 1A, Duplex Stainless. The casting has failed hydro testing, a weld repair has been made. I know Solution annealing is required. The question has been raised to conduct a workshop localised PWHT, heating to above 1100 deg C followed by quenching (buckets...
Does anybody see an issues with welding a Tungsten Carbide (40/60 Ni based) overlay onto an a Ferritic steel 27%Cr? I am looking to start up some trials to achieve 3mm overlay height in one pass. The base metal will be > 50mm thick.
I am thinking of starting with the following:
PTA process...
Hi,
I am in the process of qualifying a WPS to join 4130 to itself (Q&T state approx 700MPa UTS) Can anybody recommend a consumable that after PWHT will pass a transverse tensile as per ASME IX and match the properties of the base metal. The first PQR was welded with E81T5-B2M H4 due to...
Hi,
Need some guidance on PWHT heating and cooling rates. An new to ASME and still finding my feet, the standards are laid out a little different from the Australian Standards I am used to.
Thanks
