Weld Qualification Corrosion Test
Weld Qualification Corrosion Test
(OP)
Dear All,
I have a 304SS corrosion resistance vessel. I am wondering if the vessel welds shall conduct a corrosion resistance qualification test. If so, what is the corrosion test instruction / standard? what are the acceptance criteria?
Thank you for your advise.
Best Regards,
Oil Sands

Again, if you are the end user, and you suspect that the fabrication process may have degraded the performance of the alloy, try ASTM A262.

I've been involved in oil and gas for 40 years and developed some of the initial corrosion tests of welding procedures for duplex stainless steel imposed on projects in 1980 and have spelled out corrosion testing requirements for 316, 317L, 904L, etc and various nickel base alloys and weld overlays. I simply have not seen any similar requirements for 304 welding procedures and weld overlay procedures.
