pipe required is of CL 32 hence Normalizing done
joint was 10 mm thick done by E7018-1 electrode.
1.4% Mn is reported in electrode MTC.
Is 1.7% Mn acceptable in weld deposit to meet A671 CC 60 CL 32? per my interpretation it is exceeding 1.6% per sec IX.
appreciate experts view.
Thank you .
Hello,
I had a A516 Gr 60 plate to build A671 CC60 CL 32 pipe by SMAW process.
Mn % in electrode is 1,4 % and that of plate is 1.12%
After doing normalzing , we found Mn% in weld deposit as 1.7%
What are the possible reasons for higher Mn percentage in weld .
It is currently not meeting A1...
