308H

Description

Basic coated electrode for 304/304H base material for high service temperature service
Its basic coating ensures excellent positional welding characteristics with good gap bridging ability. The weld pool and slag are easy to control and facilitate the achievement of a clean bead surface even in narrow preparations and in root pass. Ease of slag removal reduces post-welding cleaning operations to a minimum. These products are suitable to weld heavy thick (>12mm) of 321H and 347H to avoid typical service HAZ cracking of these grades. Mainly applications include petrochemical and chemical process plant. Typical service temperatures are 400°C to 800°C.

Description

Application

The 308H consumables are specifically crafted to match unstabilized 18Cr-10Ni austenitic stainless steels, providing elevated temperature strength and oxidation resistance. Carbon content is controlled within the range of 0.04-0.08%, and weld metal Cr and Ni are kept low to minimize embrittlement by sigma phase. Ferrite is controlled to further mitigate embrittlement, and minor elements and residuals are carefully managed to optimize high-temperature properties. No bismuth-bearing constituents are permitted to ensure compliance with API 582 (<0.002%Bi). Consideration of 308H consumables is advised for welding thick (>12mm) stabilized grades 321H or 347H, preventing in-service HAZ cracking and maintaining creep rupture ductility associated with 347 weld metal. Some authorities recommend type 16-8-2 for these steels, including 304H. Widely used in petrochemical and chemical process plants, especially for fabricating cyclones and transfer lines in catalytic crackers (cat crackers) operating within the range of 400-815°C. No preheat is required, and the maximum interpass temperature is set at 250°C. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is not necessary.
