Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A welding material with a chemical composition so adjusted that it forms a deposited metal which will contain as component elements not more than 0.15% C, 15.0 30.0% Cr, 8.0 40.0% Ni, not more than 2.5% Mn, not more than 1.5% Si, not more than 3.0% Mo, not more than 4.0% Cu, not more than 0.045% P, not more than 0.030% S, and not more than 0.30% Nb, and will also contain not more than 5% ferrite, characterized in that a suitable amount of Ta is chosen so that the deposited metal will contain 0.40 3.0% Ta, and the mixture is added to at least either filler metal (including the core wire for shielded arc welding) or flux.
  • This invention relates to a welding material for austenitic stainless steels. More particularly, the invention concerns a welding material which, when used in welding austenitic stainless steels, can produce deposited metal free from crack due to the heat of welding and improved in corrosion resistance and strength for use at high temperatures.
  • Deposited metal with not more than 5% ferrite may be in service for long at elevated temperature or may be stress relieved by annealing without any sacrifice of its corrosion resistance, hightemperature strength and other desirable properties.
  • the limitation of the ferrite content is thus essential for the improvement of various properties of the metal deposited by welding on austenitic stainless steels.
  • the present invention resides in a welding material of a chemical composition so adjusted that the elementary contents of the deposited metal thereby formed are not more than 0.15% C, 15.0 30.0% Cr, 8.0 40.0% Ni, not more than 2.5% Mn, not more than 1.5% Si, not more than 3.0% Mo, not more than 4.0%
  • Cu not more than 0.045% P, not more than 0.030% S, not more than 0.3% Nb, and not more than 5% ferrite, characterized in that Ta is added in such an amount that the resulting deposit may contain 0.4 3.0% Ta and that the material of this composition is added beforehand to at least either filler metal (including the core wire of a coated electrode) or flux.
  • Tantalum which is added to at least either filler metal of flux in accordance with this invention, has such a close affinity for oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, that it reacts with oxygen and nitrogen in the welding arc to give tantalum oxide and tantalum nitride. Because of their high melting points the reaction products (TaO, m.p. over 3000C, and TaN, m.p. 3100C) form crystal nuclei as the molten metal begins to solidify and make the deposited metal very fine in grain size. Consequently the deposit has microcrystalline grains and is completely protected against cracking which may otherwise result from welding.
  • the low crack sensitivity of the deposited metal with refined grains may well be explained as follows.
  • the welding crack of austenitic stainless steel is a hot crack that occurs at a temperature just short of the solidification point, and this is caused by the opening due to the contraction stress on solidification after welding of the low-melting-point impurities that have precipitated at the grain boundaries of the deposit.
  • tantalum gives Ta compounds (TaO and TaN) having high melting points which in turn effect grain refining of the deposited metal and thereby increase the total volume of the grain boundaries and decrease the concentration of the low-melting-point foreign matter at the boundaries to such an extent that the possibility of welding crack is eliminated.
  • tantalum has a stronger affinity for carbon than chromium and iron do. Therefore, the metal melted by the heat of welding arc is in a half melted and high-temperature state in its course of so lidification produces a tantalum carbide and fixes the carbon. This reduces the amount of free carbon to an extremely small amount and suppresses formation of noxious carbides, such as, chromium carbide, during cooling or reheating over 600C. Accordingly the corrosion resistance is retained and not affected in service. Moreover, the tantalum carbide with a high melting point (3827C) forms crystal nuclei in much the same way as the oxide and nitride to refine the grains of the deposited metal and prevent the welding crack.
  • the high melting point (2996C) of Ta makes it impossible to form any foreign matter with a low melting point, and eliminates the danger of welding crack.
  • the tantalum thus brought into the deposit strengthens the austenite structure and the solid solution, and therefore the deposited metal itself.
  • a further benefit is that the fine precipitates of tantalum and the like exhibit such low aggregation rates when heated at high temperatures that they contribute strongly in improved the high-temperature strength of the deposited metal.
  • the addition of tantalum to a com position which forms deposited metal containing not more than 5% ferrite is beneficial in avoiding welding crack and improving the corrosion resistance and hightemperature strength of the metal. Since the ferrite content of the deposited metal is too small for the formation of the sigma phase during heating at high temperatures, a good deposit can be obtained without any sacrifice of the corrosion resistance or hightemperature strength due to precipitation of the sigma phase.
  • the amount of tantalum to be added is limited so that it accounts for 0.4 3.0% of the deposited metal.
  • the lower limit of 0.4% is set for the reason now to be explained.
  • the minimum amount of tantalum required for stabilizing carbon and producing tantalum carbide is C% X 15.
  • C% X 20 or more is required because tantalum reacts with nitrogen and oxygen and accordingly the amount of tantalum that effectively combines with carbon is decreased. Since the minimum value of carbon content is approximately 0.02%, it follows that the minimum value of tantalum should be 0.02% X 20 0.4%.
  • the upper limit of 3.0% is set because a higher percentage of tantalum would produce a brittle intermetallic compound TaFe, which in turn would embrittle the deposited metal and increase the crack sensitivity of the deposit.
  • niobium in the deposited metal is restricted to 0.3% or less for the following reason.
  • 0.3% or less niobium can have nothing to do with welding crack, but because Nb is difficult to separate from Ta the former gains entrance as an impurity element into the deposit, and the addition of more than 0.3% Nb would lead to formation of Nb-based low-melting-point foreign matter and cracking of the deposit owing to the heat of welding.
  • the deposited metal formed in conformity with the invention contains tantalum preferably in the range between 0.4 and 3.0%.
  • the ranges of other additivies must be fixed. Tantalum when added to at least either filler metal or flux as taught above is not totally carried into the deposited metal because it is oxidized and consumed during welding with partial transfer into the slag. These possible losses must be taken into account in determining the amount of tantalum to be added.
  • the overall loss of an effective addition element in the course of welding depends upon the type of carrier in which it is added (i.e., in either filler metal or flux) and the method of welding to be adopted. Once these conditions are set, there will be practically no variation in the loss thenceforth.
  • Ta When to be added to the flux (coating) alone Ta should range in amount from 0.8 to 30.0%.
  • Ta proportions similar to those specified above will enable the welding material for submerged arc welding to form deposits as desirable as in shield arc welding.
  • Ta added in an amount of 0.4 5.0% to the tiller metal will make possible the formation of a desired deposit.
  • the grounds on which the composition of deposited metal is specified as above and the composition of the welding rod is so chosen as to obtain the particular deposit in accordance with this invention will now be clarified in connection with examples thereof.
  • the electrode according to this invention gives a deposited metal having a lower crack sensitivity and better high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance than those of deposits formed by conventional electrodes of commerce.
  • care must be used to avoid segregation.
  • the element should be as fine in grain size as possible and should be uniformly distributed in the flux.

  • the w re finished in this way is cut to a suitable length and is used as a f 21in 0-0042 Good 25 bare filler metal for inert-gas welding or as a coated electrode with a suitable covering for the intended use.
  • f Several examples of welding experimentally conzTf 71 00093 Fair to poor 19 ducted with filler metal s thus obtained are compared (2) 3 (in 0.0121 Fair to poor 13 with those conducted with conventional filler metals in Tables 3 and 4.

  • the end can be attained by coating the necessary number of core wires of ordinary austenitic stainless steel free from any additional element with a coating composition so prepared as to contain tantalum in the proportion specified above.
  • An aqueous solution of sodium silicate is used as a binder.
  • the electrodes with compositions to which tantalum is added in amounts within the range specified herein produce deposited metals superior in anticracking, anticorrosive, and high-temperature properties than the one formed with a conventional electrode and that the compositions with Ta contents outside the specified range give deposits inferior in resistance to cracking and corrosive attack.
  • Table 3 shows the results of some inert-gas arc welding tests conducted with Ta-containing filler metals.
  • filler metals of the invention were employed in welding steel of the DIN 4505 grade (conforming to DIN 17007 of the German standards) for anti-sulfuric acid use.
  • Filler metals of DIN 4507 (DIN 17007), which are usually used for this purpose do not contain ferrite but do contain niobium in amounts of more than C% X 10 and naturally have the disadvantage of frequent cracking on welding.
  • the properties of the deposited metals formed by the tiller metals of the invention were compared with those by the conventional filler metals. Table 6 shows the results of elementary analyses of deposited metals formed by inert-gas shielded arc welding with Ta-containing filler metals of the invention and with ordinary Ta-free ones.
  • Table 7 compiles the test results obtained by the Methods of Type C,R estraint Welding Crack Test (JIS Z3155) and by the Methods of Copper-Containing Sulfuric Acid-Copper Sulfate Inter-crystalline Corrosion Test (JIS) and compares the mechanical properties of the deposited metals thus formed.
  • inert-gas shielded arc welding with a filler metal that will allow the deposited metal to contain tantalum will thus form the deposited metal with improved resistance to cracking and intercrystalline corrosion and with high tensile strength.
  • Ta is added to the deposited metal.
  • the addition of less than 0.40% Ta will not be beneficial in improving the resistance to intercrystalline corrosion and more than 3.0% Ta will adversely affect the mechanical properties, particularly elongation, of the deposited metal.
  • the Ta addition should be limited within the range of 0.40 to 3.0%.
  • Nb contents of less than 0.30% have no effect on welding crack.
  • a welding material is prepared in which tantalum is contained in such an amount that from 0.4 to 3.0% of the element is left in the deposited metal formed in the welding of austenitic stainless steels, and the material is added heforehand to at least either filler metal (including the core wire for shielded arc welding) or flux, and then shielded arc welding, inert-gas shielded arc welding, submerged arc welding, or the like is carried out to produce a deposited metal having excellent crack resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength.
  • the invention thus has great industrial advantages.
  • the improvement which comprises either the core wire or coating of the electrode having an amount of Ta effective to produce a Ta content in the deposited metal of 0.40-3.0%.
  • a core wire for welding austenitic stainless steels consisting essentially of not more than 0.15% C, 15.0 30.0% Cr, 8.0 20.0% Ni, not more than 2.5% Mn, not more than 0.9% Si, not more than 0.04% P, not more than 0.03% S, not more than 0.30% Nb, and 0.44 5.0% Ta, the balance being iron and incidental impurities.
