Cladding Material

Heat-affected zone cracking under the weld-overlay-cladding has been investigated for the combination of 22 kinds of ferritic base metals and electrodes including strip electrodes of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, Inconel and mild steel, and covered electrodes of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels and Inconel. The results indicate that (1) intercrystalline cracks form on stress relieving under the overlap area of the cladding beads, (2) the susceptibility to cracking depends markedly on the chemical composition of the base metal, and the following equation predicts cracking tendency, ΔG = [Cr] + 3.3 [Mo] + 8.1 [V] − 2, and (3) cracking is avoided or decreased by using cladding material which is similar in thermal expansion coefficient to base metal.

Weld Overlay

The investigation was focused on the microstructure characterization as well as changes in chemical composition and hardness of water wall tubing weld overlaid with Inconel 625. The analysis comprised studies in a light and electron microscopy scale that included the evaluation of weld overlays microstructure and microsegregation of alloying elements across the overlay and base metal interface. The particular attention was turned to the distribution of the main element content (Fe, Ni, Mo, Nb, Cr) in the base metal fusion zone as well as in the weld overlay itself. It was shown that the solidification process resulted in significant segregation in alloying elements giving rise to the substantial differences in chemical composition between dendrite cores and interdendritic spaces. It is believed that the microsegregation together with precipitation of secondary phases may contribute to the deterioration of corrosion resistance and overall mechanical properties of weld overlay including ductility and fracture toughness.

Faraday Cage

All that was said so far about passivity and passivation was indeed based on electrochemical prejudgments, and all based on unverified postulates. However, due the authors’ fame and for lack of anything better, the great many contradictions were carefully ignored. However, when resuming from raw experimental facts and the present general knowledge, it now appears that passivation always begins by the precipitation of a metallic hydroxide gel. Therefore, all the protectiveness mechanisms already known for porous corrosion layers apply, so that this outstanding protectiveness is indeed governed by the chemistry of transport processes throughout the entrapped water. For Al type passivation, the base metal ions only have deep and complete electronic shells, which precludes any electronic conductivity. Then protectiveness can only arise from gel thickening and densification. For Fe type passivation, an incomplete shell of superficial 3d electrons allows an early metallic or semimetallic conductivity in the gel skeleton, at the onset of the very first perfectly ordered inorganic polymers (- MII-O-MIII-O-)n. Then all depends on the acquisition, maintenance or loss of a sufficient electrical conductivity in this Faraday cage. But for both types of passive layers, all the known features can be explained by the chemistry of transport processes, with neither exception nor contradiction.

Abstract MAGIVAL MG2 is a free machining ferritic stainless steel grade with the same high machinability and corrosion resistance as type 430F, but offering a higher magnetic permeability and lower coercive force than MG1 (Alloy Digest SS-1159, October 2013). Magival is a group of easily workable ferritic stainless steels developed for magnetic applications where high permeability and low coercive force are required. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining.
