Due to Caustic or Alkaline salts that occurs under evaporative or high heat Caustic gouging
transfer condition.
300 series ss & some Ni under stress, temp & aqueous chloride environment.

HCl (Aq) can cause both generalised & localised & aggressive
Dew point corrosion (vapors containing water and hydrogen chloride condense)
All Metal, alloys & Refractories Softer alloys such as copper & aluminium alloys that
are easily worn
Increasing hardness of the metal(not a good idea
bcos corrosion plays a role)
do not increase velocity of the product
Almost all metals, CS, Low alloy Steels, 300 & 400
SS
Almost all metals, CS, Low alloy Steels, 300 & 400 in-organic substances - Sulfur NH3
SS Organic Substances - HC, Organic acids
generally need Carbon, Ni & Phosforus

300 & 400 series SS suffer pitting attack & 300 series SS may
suffer CLSCC
Appropriate paints/ Coats & Maintain insulation sealing/ vapor barriers to prevent moisture ingress
O2 Scavenger is used
Proper Design, Reduced caustic, Minimise hot spot & by minimising the ingress of alkaline producing saltt
aluminium diffusion to low alloy steel is used to reduce sulfidation & scales

Advantages Limitation
Lack of SW Fusion,
Interpass fusion when
welding thick sections
Optimum Arc
Low heat Input(Less HAZ, less distortion, Less
Burn- Thru)
no lack of fusion
High heat
The metallurgical benefits that can be derived Complex, costly & less
from a flux portable
large amount of fumes are
Higher productivity generated
equipment required is
more costly and extensive,
a) provides very high metal deposition rates; and less portable;
b) produces repeatable high quality welds for d) process is limited to
large weldments and repetitive short welds shop applications and flat
position
