Alloy SH 310 may be welded with most of the welding processes. This includes :
TIG, PLASMA, MIG Weldings as well as SMAW, SAW and FCAW processes. Use
WELDING AWS/ASME E310-15 (AWS A-5-4 or ASME SFA5-4) electrodes or AWS/ASME ER
310 wires while for the final passes AWS/ASME E309-15 (AWS A-5-9 or ASME
SF5-9) electrodes or AWS/ASME ER 309 wires are recommended.
The best toughness results will be obtained with basic fluxes when considering
weldings with SAW method of flux cored electrodes or argon as shielding gases.
Interpass temperature is limited at 150°C (302°F).
Usual precautions for stainless steels including cleaning and degreasing of weld
areas, protection against weld spatters must be taken. Grind the start and the
finish of each filler pass before to start with next filler pass.
Mechanical methods including grinding and polishing will be used to remove
oxide, slag incrustations, heat tint or other surface contamination. Etching with
pastes are also allowed but avoid overetching
Furnaces : burners, heat recupertors, doors, circulating fans and pipings... for
the most critical conditions.
Pyrometallurgy : smelter and steel melting equipments, rollers for continuous
APPLICATIONS casting equipments...
Heat treatment furnaces : walking beams, doors, burners grids, heat
recuperators including for nitriding and cementary gases
Sintering or cement plants : feeding and discharging systems, burners and
burners shield, wind boxes...
On/Offshore - Refineries : candelabra, catalytic recovery systems,
recuperators...
Fluidised bed furnaces : grids, wind boxes, pipings...
