welding/material compatibly CF8M - 316 SS
welding/material compatibly CF8M - 316 SS
(OP)
Hello all,
I have a valve which has been cast out of 316 Stainless steel, because it is cast it becomes A351-CF8M.
I need to connect to the valve with a pipe and Flange, but the materials I have for the pipe and flange are 316, will regular 316 be compatible with CF8M? ie can it be welded to it and would there be any issues from a metallurgists point of view?
Thanks in Advanced
Carlos

No preheat is required and keep the interpass temperature below 300 deg F. The filler metal should be 316.
