ASME A860 Material
ASME A860 Material
(OP)
Looking at a job requiring the welding of ASME A860 pipe fittings to Api5l X42 pipe. Please educate me on the preferred welding consumables and procedures of choice. I am familiar with X42 material, I know very little about A860.





RE: ASME A860 Material
I would strongly suggest you obtain a copy of this ASTM specification because it deals with weld repair and selection of consumables for welding. You will most likely need to perform a post weld heat treatment, and selection of the PWHT temperature is critical to avoid altering the original base material properties.
