    Welding Stainless Steel to Maintain Corrosion Resistance

    What is the history behind limiting heat input to 60kJ/in the welding of stainless steel (TP 304) to prevent sensitization/ maintain corrosion resistance in the as welded condition? Is it related to grain growth or ferrite? Thank you in advance.

    "Burn Through" Definition

    Hello Everyone, Does ASTM, AWS, or ASME have an official definition of "Burn Through"? I could not find anything in ASME, however I am new to the code in its entirety. I do not have access to the ASTM or AWS specs. Thank you in advance.

    Intermitent Slag on 321S/S

    I can't seem to figure out where occasional slag is coming from. I am continuously welding 321 S/S tube at 40ipm, 50-55amps, and using helium and argon for shielding gas. The slag only appears every 20-40 feet, is sometimes 3-5 droplets or a short soid layer. I am asuming it is contamination of...

    WPS and PQR

    I am trying to establish more formal welding regulations and parameters in the shop. Are there any standardized WPS and PQR available? Also, which one needs to be done first before the other one is filled out? Any advice will be appreciated.

    Welding 321 S/S Autogenous

    I am having difficulty welding 321 S/S tube without any filler. I am consistantly being told it is due to a new low sulfur content. Also, that the Ti is bonding with another alloy which then becomes a lower eutectic point. The type of defect is porosity along the centerline of the weld. I...
