Boron in deposited weld metal
Boron in deposited weld metal
(OP)
Can somebody advice regarding welding consumable for Carbon steel grade 450
New Project specifications require: content of Boron (B) in deposit weld metal cannot exceed 0.0005% for welding base materials with SMYS of 415 MPa or greater.. Have somebody preformed review of the inclusion of Boron as part of weld consumable certification?
Boron content below 0.0005% seems to be very low for me..
Maybe it is a mistake in the new specification..???

RE: Boron in deposited weld metal
I doubt it is a mistake. Unfortunately, rod and solid wire for welding consumables can be manufactured from re-melted scrap that can result in certain tramp elements below threshold reporting levels. Boron is a potent hardenability agent for carbon and low alloy steel, and could be introduced when formulating welding consumables from scrap. I have never looked for boron nor requested it to be reported as part of a review of weld rod or wire certification.
