DAIKOWS 1CrMo

Designed for prolonged elevated temperature service up to 550°C, these consumables have primary applications in steam-generating power plants. These consumables excel in various components like piping, turbine castings, steam chests, valve bodies, and boiler superheaters. They also provide corrosion resistance in refineries for sulfur-bearing crude oil (250-450°C) and resist hydrogen attack in chemical and petrochemical industries for hydrocrackers, coal liquefaction plants, and NH3 pressure vessels (up to 450°C). In the as-welded state, these consumables yield a weld deposit with a useful 300HV hardness, suitable for build-up or hard surfacing to combat metal-to-metal wear and heavy impact. A minimum preheat and interpass temperature of 200°C is recommended, extending up to 300°C for thicker sections. It is crucial to maintain these temperatures throughout the welding cycle and for some time after the completion of welding. With the exception of specific applications, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is invariably necessary, typically at a temperature of 690°C, the duration of which depends on the thickness of the section.
