Abstract
The corrosion behaviour was studied of superduplex steel UNS S
37250 (max.30% C, 25%Cr, 7%Ni, 4%Mo, 0.3%N; thickness 3 mm), on
joints welded by both plasma and EB welding methods. Welding conditions
are given (filler wire, shielding gas, welding speed, current
(arc current; cathode current, beam current), voltage (arc voltage;
accelerating voltage)). Free and stress corrosion evaluations
of the welds were done in H2SO4 solutions of various concentrations
and critical pitting temperatures were determined using FeCl3
solution. Comparisons were made of the results for plasma, EB
and laser produced welds, and also of the differing microstructures
created. |
