WELDING STAINLESS STEELS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Eng.
OSTI ID:4051514
Conditions necessary for welding various types of stainless steels are discussed. A constitution diagram for stalnless steel welds with approximate regions of defects depending on composition snd phsse balance is presented. Preheating temperatures for welding hardenable steels and post-heat treatment temperatures are given. Also given is a list of electrode choices for welding mild, low-alloy, nickel-base to iron-base alloys, and different grades of stainless steels in different combinations. The crystal structure of austenite, ferrite, and martensite welded material is also discussed and photographically shown. (N.W.R.)
