3.4.3 For dissimilar joint which includes P-No.8 metal, preheat, interpass and postweld
heat treatment conditions shall be confirmed from PMC.
3.4.4 The following guidance for special DISIMILAR WELDS and ELECTRODES are as
follows:
Whenever possible, dissimilar welds between stainless steel and carbon or low alloy
steel should be avoided in wet H2S and other services where hydrogen
embrittlement is possible. This is because of hard zone that occurs at the fusion line
of austenitic metal and the carbon or low alloy steel base metal. This hard zone can
not be completely removed with PWHT. When dissimilar welds between carbon
steel and UNS NO8825 or UNS S32205 are specified in the drawings. The following
guidance is offered.
a. Carbon Steel to Alloy 825 (UNS N08825)

For weld metal, use nickel-based filler metal type ER-NiCrMo-3(INCO 625) wire and
E-NiCrMo-3 rod (INCO 112).
b. Carbon Steel to Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205)
There is not an industry consensus on how to make a dissimilar weld between
carbon steel and Duplex 2205, suggests that the carbon steel side of the joint be
overlaid(buttered) with a first pass of low carbon steel (AWSR45 or equal). The
thickness of the buttershould be 1/16-1/8 inch {1.5-3} max. This will avoid the
problem of a hard zone in the AWS E2209 (UNS W39209) weld metal due to dilution
from the carbon in carbon steel. The low Carbon butter pass should be as close to
1/16 in (1.5mm) minimum as possible so that the strength of the joint is
adequate.After the butterpass of low carbon weld metal is deposited on the carbon
steel, weld the Duplex 2205 to the buttered carbon steel with E2209 electrodes.
This procedure must be qualified to make sure that the tensile strength of the
joint is adequate. As part of the welding procedure qualification a microhardness

survey should be run across the weld to make sure that there is no hardness that
exceeds those recommended by NACE MRO103. In addition, because the yield
strength of the Duplex 2205 is so much higher than that of carbon steel, the welding
procedure should be qualified using longitudinal bends rather than transverse bends
as permitted by the code. This will avoid failure in the carbon steel before the Duplex
2005 begin to bend.
Some refiners weld carbon steel directly to Duplex 2205 using filler metal type ERNiCrMo-3 (INCO 625) wire and E-NiCrMo-3 rod (INCO 112). As part of the welding
procedure qualification a micro hardness survey should be run across the weld to
make sure that there is no hardness that exceeds those recommended by NACE
MRO103.
3.5
Low Temperature Service

Delta ferrite content of austenitic stainless steel filler metals shall be controlled as
follows:
Where the design temperature is at -1010C or lower, the electrodes (SMAW) and
welding rods (GTAW) shall be low carbon type. In addition, the ferric content of
electrodes (SMAW) shall be in the range of 2 to 5 percent (FN2 to FN5). Using low
ferrite content electrodes (SMAW) such as NC-38LT (Kobe Steel Ltd), WEL308LA
(Nippon Welding Rod Co, Ltd) is recommended.
3.6
Preheat and Interpass Temperature
3.6.1 Preheat temperature for procedure qualification test must be measured just before
start of welding and temperature shall be recorded in PQR.
3.6.2 The maximum interpass temperature for austenitic stainless steels shall not exceed 1800C.

Notes:
(1) Application of AWS classification E6010 (DC only) for root pass shall be subject to PMC
approval (see par. 3.3.1).
(2) Do not use E6010 (DC only) for root pass.
(3) When the applicable code requires PWHT for the ferritic base metal, the application of
welding procedure and PWHT shall be confirmed to PMC.
(4) When the applicable code requires PWHT for the ferritic base metal, the application of
welding procedure and PWHT shall be confirmed to PMC.
Type 309 welding materials shall not be used where the design temperature exceeds
4500C.
Inconel can not be used for the sulfidation environment at the design temperature
above 5370C.
(5) The filler metal shall meet the chemical and mechanical test requirements of SFA 5.18,
classification ER70S-2, ER70S-3 or ER70S-6.
(6) Filler metals for welds shall meet the same minimum impact test requirements as those
of the base metal.
(7) Chemical composition and mechanical properties of the deposited weld metal shall be
same as the base metal.
