Auftragschweißungen mit Hastelloy alloy B-42

Hastelloy alloy B-42 weld overlay welding Alloy NiMo 28, Mat. No. 2.4617 (HASTELLOY alloy B-2), is known for its excellent corrosion resistance in hydrochloric and sulfuric acids over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures. Under critical conditions, however, severe corrosion can occur in welds (weld deposit and HAZ). This is attributed to molybdenum depletion of the microstructure. The properties of a filler material were investigated which contained an excessive amount of molybdenum over the parent alloy. This filler is called HASTELLOY alloy B-42, a nickel alloy having about 42% molybdenum. The much less ductile HASTELLOY alloy B-42 weld deposit is more corrosion resistant in hydrochloric and sulfuric acids than wrought HASTELLOY alloy B-2 and Hastelloyalloy B-2 filler. It can therefore be applied as weld overlay of HASTELLOY alloy B-2 welds subject to critical corrosion conditions. In field testing promising results were obtained. Currently only TIG rod having a diameter of not less than 4.76 mm (0.187”?) are available which are causing handling problems. Tube wire with a diameter of 2.5 mm (0.098”?) is under development and will be available shortly.     

Stress corrosion cracking of gas-tungsten arc welds in continuous-cast AZ31 Mg alloy sheet

AZ31 Mg alloy sheet was welded using a gas-tungsten arc (GTA) process over inserts containing 2.3–9.3 wt.% Al. The welded specimens were susceptible to SCC in distilled water, with susceptibility increasing with decreasing weld metal Al (or β particle) concentration. Primary stress corrosion cracks initiated at the weld metal–HAZ interface by stress-assisted localised dissolution and propagated through the weld and base metals by transgranular and intergranular H-assisted fracture (TG-HAF and IG-HAF) respectively. The IG fracture mode may be intrinsic to the texture imparted upon the base metal by rolling. The increase in SCC susceptibility with decreasing weld metal Al concentration is contrary to the purported roles of β particles in promoting localised corrosion and as crack nucleation sites, but corresponds with increases in weld – base metal galvanic current density and weld metal localised corrosion susceptibility.

The effect of water content on the electropolishing behavior of Inconel 718 alloy in perchloric–acetic acid mixtures

The electropolishing behavior of Inconel 718 alloy was studied in perchloric–acetic acid mixtures using a rotating disc electrode. The electropolishing behavior of an Inconel 718 weld, which was prepared with electron beam welding, was also investigated. A leveled but not brightened surface can be achieved when Inconel 718 alloy is potentiostatically polished in the acid mixture with 20 vol.% perchloric acid. Interestingly, a brightening effect could be obtained in this acid mixture by adding 10–50 ml l⁻¹ water or by being at rest at room temperature for several days. When electropolishing in acid mixture with 40 vol.% perchloric acid, leveling and brightening of the Inconel 718 surface can be detected. When electropolished in this acid mixture, the fusion zone of the Inconel 718 weld cannot be leveled together with its nearby base metal. Nevertheless, a good polished surface of the Inconel 718 weld can be achieved with the acid mixture with 20 vol.% perchloric acid by adding 40 ml l⁻¹ of water. Electropolishing was performed in the limiting diffusion current region where the transport of water to the anode seemed to be the rate-determining process.     

Properties of seams with electron-beam welding of tubing to tube sheets

Conclusions As the result of two heat treatments the structural heterogeneity, microhardness gradient in the seam and the base metal, and the residual internal stresses in weldments decreased considerably. The best properties were obtained after heat treatment 1: heating at a rate of 20 deg/h at 1050–1080°, holding 30 min, and furnace cooling to room temperature at a rate of 65 deg/h.Donets Physicotechnical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

Study on the effect of welding current during laser beam-resistance seam welding of aluminum alloy 5052

The effect of welding current on the weld shape and tensile shear load during laser beam-resistance seam welding (LB-RSW) of aluminum alloy 5052 is studied. Experimental results show that the penetration depth, weld width,tensile shear load and the ratio of penetration depth to weld width of LB-RSW are bigger than those of laser beam welding(LBW) under the same conditions and the former three parameters increase as welding current rises. The weld shape of LB-RSW below 5 kA welding current is nearly the same as that of LBW. The weld morphology is protuberant under the condition of 5 kA welding current and 0.8 m/min welding speed. Furthermore, the microstructure of the weld seam of LB-RSW is coarser than that of LBW.     

Nicrofer 5923 hMo,ein neuer hochkorrosionsbeständiger Werkstoff für die Chemische Industrie,die Umwelttechnik und verwandte Anwendungen

Alloy 59, a new highly corrosion resistant material for the chemical process industry, environmental pollutioncontrol and related applications

1 Vortrag anläßlich der ACHEMA '91, Frankfurt/Main, 09.–15. Juni 1991.

A new nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, Alloy 59 has been designed to withstand severest corrosive conditions as encountered in chemical process industry and today's environmental pollution control systems. This alloy, which is composed of about 59% nickel, 23% chromium and 16% molybdenum is compared to the common NiCrMo-alloys Alloy C-276, Allo C-4, Alloy 22 and Alloy 625. Conditions of corrosion testing have been varied between oxidizing and reducing mineral acids combined with differing halide contaminations. Furthermore, corrosion data in hot concentrated sulfuric acid and in technical relevant solutions of flue gas desulfurization plants are given. The general resistance to corrosion in sulfuric acid and in hydrochloric acid is highlighted in isocorrosion diagrams. Alloy 59 has an excellent resistance to uniform and localized corrosion in all these environments. The new Alloy 59 clearly outperforms the other NiCrMo-alloys C-276, C-4 and 22 as well under oxidizing conditions as in the strongly reducing hydrochloric acid environment. The time-temperature-sensitization-diagram demonstrates the alloy's excellent thermal stability and reveals an improvement compared to Alloy 22 or the well-known Alloy C-276. Alloy 59, therefore, can be used in the as-welded condition without any additional solution annealing treatment. The excellent corrosion resistance is not impaired if the alloy is processed or fabricated to equipment even in larger sections. Weldability with a matching filler metal is without problems as demonstrated i.a. in the varestraint test.     

Mitigation of hot cracking of alloy 52M overlay on cast stainless steel CF8A

Abstract

Effects of ER308L buffer layer and welding parameter slope down time on the hot cracking susceptibility of alloy 52M overlay on CF8A base metal were studied. The results indicated that Si segregation was a critical factor affecting Alloy 52M hot cracking. Applying ER308L buffer layers between CF8A and Alloy 52M can reduce the dilution of Alloy 52M weld beads and minimise the contribution of Si from CF8A into Alloy 52M, thereby alleviating Si segregation and the hot cracking susceptibility of Alloy 52M. When the Si content in the grain boundary region was lower than 0·81 wt-%, the hot cracking in the weld bead could be mitigated completely. In many cases, crater cracks occurred in the end crater of the weld bead. Increasing the number of ER308L buffer layers and extending the slope down time could reduce crater crack susceptibility. However, the Si content in the grain boundary region should be controlled to be lower than 0·63 wt-% to prevent crater cracking.

Comparing Reactivation Behavior of TIG and Laser Beam Welded Alloy 690

The nickel base Alloy 690 was subjected to simulated autogenous welding treatment employing two different techniques, laser beam welding (LBW) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. The resultant weld fusion zone (WFZ) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) were compared by studying the reactivation behavior. The chromium depletion effect was assessed by measuring the degree of sensitization (DOS) from the electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR) test. A double-loop EPR test for Alloy 690 was employed to measure the DOS at different regions of weldments by masking the remaining regions. The results clearly demonstrated that Alloy 690 showed no sensitization in the parent material and the WFZ region of both TIG and laser weldments. However, it exhibited reactivation in the HAZ region of both the weldments. The DOS values measured for Alloy 690 were very low for all the regions of the LBW weldment as compared to that in the TIG weldment. The HAZ region of the LBW weldment showed the highest DOS value in any region of the weldment but even this value was quite low indicating absence of sensitization in LBW weldment. The attack along the grain boundaries for the weldments after EPR experiments were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Composition of electrodeposited Zn–Cr alloy coatings and phase transformations induced by thermal treatment

Zn–Cr alloy coatings were obtained in a flow cell, for modeling the process of high speed electrodeposition on steel strips. Alloy coatings, containing between 6 and 18 at.% Cr were annealed at 260 °C in an inert atmosphere. The phase composition and the crystallographic characteristics of “as prepared” and “annealed” coatings, were studied by XRD. It is shown that non-equilibrium δ- and Γ-(Zn,Cr) phases are major constituents of the “as prepared” coatings. On annealing, equilibrium ζ-CrZn₁₃ phase precipitates from δ- and Γ-supersaturated solid solutions. The lattice parameters and the similarities in phase composition of the annealed coatings, deposited onto two types of substrates – low carbon steel and Cr plated (protected) low carbon steel – show that if Fe from the substrate “contaminates” the precipitated ζ-CrZn₁₃ phases, its relative amount do not exceed few tenths of a percent.The influence of the elemental composition, conditions of electrochemical deposition, and post-deposition thermal treatment on phase composition of the coatings is discussed.

The role of silicon in the corrosion of AA6061 aluminium alloy laser weldments

The galvanic corrosion temporal increase observed on examination of the weld fusion zone (WFZ) of AA6061 laser weldments in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution cannot be attributed to electron tunnelling as the surface oxide layer is too thick, or the presence of Cl⁻ within the surface layer as this element was not found to be present. Aluminium alloy and WFZ galvanic and surface analyses indicate that the cathodic WFZ corrosion characteristics are due to increases in silicate concentrations in the surface oxide layer, leading to increased ionic and/or p-type semi-conductor conductivity, intermetallic concentrations and surface area.
