    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    Thanks weldstan, But for short arc root, heat input should be much lower than 36 KJ/in, is it right?

    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    Hi weldstan, Could you please tell me more info regarding to your welding procedures using ER70S-6 at -50 F with the GMAW process, such as shielding gas for GMAW-S and GMAW-P, heat input etc... Thank you. Best regards - Ken

    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    Yes, you are right. I have the experience that using GMAW-S for root pass and GMAW-P for fill and cap failed bending test. I try to find what are the root causes, heat input or shielding gas?

    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    We have SMAW and SAW, but SAW cannot be used for 6G, SMAW is much slower than GMAW. As I said ER70S-6 we used has the C of C and C of welding testing which is for -50F. If the coupon we will make for PQR passes the -50F impact test, it complies with ASME sect IX.

    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    Yes, normally ER70S-6 solid wire is for at -20 deg F, it is in ASME CODE. But our supplier can supply C of C and C of welding testing, which shows ER70S-6 can used @ -50 F and pass impact test @ -50 F. I believe that was done under Spray Arc mode. For me, I need Short Circuit for root pass and...

    MIG weld for impact test @ -50 F

    Does someone has experience of using MIG weld ( ER70S-6 wire ) to make a coupon to pass impact test @ - 50F? I know that MIG is NOT usually used for low temperature pressure vessel. Did someone ever try it? Using what kind of shielding gas? Thanks.
