Efficacy of low carbon 1 1/4 Cr-1/2Mo weld metal for repair welding of elevated temperature service exposed Cr-Mo components
- Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN (United States)
The creep service suitability of low carbon ({approximately}0.030%) weld metal intended for controlled deposition repair welding of 1 1/4Cr-1/2Mo steel was studied. Results indicate weld metal rupture properties (LMP) in excess of the virgin base metal ASTM data base minimum. The tensile behavior of the weld metal in the as-welded and PWHT condition is in accordance with ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1. The toughness of the low carbon weld metal in the as-welded and PWHT condition is greater than that normally industrially specified. Following determination of the suitability of stress rupture properties of the low carbon weld metal, weld repair of service exposed full-scale components was carried out using controlled deposition procedures. Full thickness cross-weld specimen creep rupture testing revealed that the repaired weldment behavior is equivalent to, or better than, the service exposed weldment and rupture life exceeds the ASTM base metal (LMP) minimum in the as-welded condition and the life is greater than the ASTM mean in the PWHT condition. Thus, it is evident that repair weld behavior using low carbon consumables and controlled deposition procedures is suitable for elevated temperature applications.
