Effect of nickel
(OP)
Hello all, I was wondering if there is a specific reason customers ask foundries for Ni (1-2%) in low alloy steel castings to improve weldability? We know Ni is good for low temperature toughness but not sure what is the effect on weldability.

My background is welding, and I consider 1Ni-¼Mo to be the "sweet spot" for a low alloy filler metal composition with all-round good properties.
