  • FERRITIC - MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL
420

Description

Martensitic flux cored wire for hardfacing
The weld metal is similar to 410 with higher chromium and carbon contents and is used for surfacing operation requiring corrosion resistance and wear resistance on matching base materials and also on CMn steels. Suitable for cladding of continuous casting rolls. It requires preheat and inter-pass temperatures of not less than 225ºC, followed by slow cooling. Post weld heat treatment is used to temper the weld deposit. The wire shows good wetting behaviour and a finely rippled surface pattern.

Description

Application

This alloy is similar to ER410 but possesses a slightly higher chromium and carbon content. It is particularly used in overlay operations requiring corrosion resistance, due to the 12% chromium content, and offers increased hardness which enhances wear resistance. It is mainly employed in the creation of sealing surfaces for valves in pipeline systems used for gas, water, and steam, under service conditions up to +450 °C. Applications include the welding of similar base metals, overlays through welding and thermal spraying. It is also suitable for the coating of continuous casting rollers. If the parts are intended to remain in the as-welded condition, a ductile joint can be achieved by using austenitic consumables such as 22 12 L/309, 18 8 Mn/307 or 25 20/310.

Alloy Type

Ferritic martensitic stainless steels.

Microstructure

The microstructure comprises tempered martensite and some carbide.

Materials

Corrosion resistant Cr-steels as well as other similar-alloyed steels with C-contents ≤ 0.30 % (repair welding), heat resistant Cr-steels of similar chemical composition.

Welding & PWHT

Preheating and interpass temperature control during welding, followed by very slow cooling and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), are crucial measures to prevent cracking. It is recommended to preheat the joints to a temperature between +200 and +300 °C, depending on the specific alloy and strength requirements. The interpass temperature should adhere to the same range. Heat input must be carefully controlled between 0.5 and 1.5 kJ/mm. The hardness of the deposit is influenced by the degree of dilution with the base metal and its chemical composition; in general, greater dilution and higher carbon content in the base metal result in a harder deposit. Post-weld heat treatment is essential for restoring ductility in the weld area, with tempering at +700 – 750 °C to improve toughness.
