 The Process of Strip Weld Overlay

As many industries require equipment to work at elevated temperatures, in corrosive media and
under high pressure, the use of highly alloyed materials for the fabrication of complete
components becomes financially unrealistic as their size increases. One solution for stainless
steels and other highly alloyed materials, such as nickel base alloys, is to deposit a weld overlay
on the surface of the equipment to resist corrosion attack.

Dual-material clad plate utilises a thin layer of the costly higher
alloyed material which is in contact with the corrosive media,
while the lower cost substrate is used to give the desired
structural integrity. The application of the high alloyed layer
can be accomplished by several methods including, dual rolling,
explosive bonding and weld overlay. However the most flexible
of these methods is weld overlay.
Weld overlay gives the designer and fabricator flexibility to choose
a wide variety of load bearing materials as substrates, as well as
a wide variety of wire/strip chemistries to deposit the required overlay.
In general, the use of weld overlay to surface finish shaped components
eliminates the eventual problems arising with cold or hot forming.
All the welding processes can be utilised, however due to constraints
in the physical requirements, some are better suited than others.

Strip Weld Overlay Process

The initial use of a strip instead of a wire with
the submerged arc process, was patented
in the US around 1922. Due to the
development of the nuclear industry, this
process became industrial, and is now
considered as a mature process.
Several modifications of submerged-arc
welding with strip have been developed
mainly with a view to further increasing the
deposition rate and to decrease the dilution.
There are two strip processes: Submerged
Arc Strip (SAW) and Electroslag Strip (ESW).
Among all the welding processes,
submerged arc and electroslag strip weld
overlay offer the highest deposition rate, the
best bead characteristics and trouble free
operation using standard SAW welding
equipment.
The Submerged Arc Strip process
(SAW Fig. 1) uses an arc that runs back and
forth at high speed along the strip, melting
the strip, the base metal and the flux to
obtain the overlay onto the base material.
Because this is an arc process, there is
penetration into the base material resulting
in dilution levels of ~20%. For a strip of
60 mm, deposition rates are in the region
of 12-14 kg/hr.
The Electroslag Strip process (ESW) Fig. 2
ignites like the submerged arc process.
When a sufficient amount of flux is melted,
because the molten flux has a lower
electrical resistance than the electric arc, the
current flows through the shallow layer of
conductive slag, and the arc is extinguished.
The process produces sufficient heat to
keep the process stable and to melt the
strip into the liquid slag; which is
transferred into molten metal deposited
onto the base material.
The ESW process has significant
advantages over its SAW counterpart:
1. As there is no arc present, there is
limited dilution into the base material,
typically 10% (compared with 20% for
SAW using 60 x 0.5 mm strip). This
leads to the ability to deposit single
layer full chemistry with over alloyed
strip, even when a low carbon grade
is required.
2. Due to the smooth operation of this
process, higher current levels can be
used resulting in deposition rates up
to 40 kg/hr for 60 mm strip.
3. Electroslag refining occurs when the
molten metal passes through the slag
bath, resulting in cleaner weld metal
with a lower risk of hot cracks, even
for fully austenitic deposits.
4. The electroslag process cannot be
used with carbon steel strip, because
of the higher electricity conductibility
than stainless or nickel strip.

General Considerations: Welding Parameters

induces current instability.

Stick out Magnetic steering device

Standard stick out is around 30-35 mm, a short stick out
generates spatter, an increase of stick out from 30 mm to 50 mm
will reduce the dilution level slightly (e.g. from 10% to 8%) but the
smoothness of the surface deteriorates.
Size of strip
With the same current density, typically used in ESW:
~ 40 A/mm², as the width of the strip increases, the dilution level
decreases: ~12% for a strip of 30 mm, ~10% for a strip
of 60 mm and ~9% for a strip of 90 mm.
Number of layers
During the welding of the first layer, the deposit is generally quite
different from the base material, but for the subsequent layers,
the deposit is generally similar to the first layer. For the ESW
process, when a first layer is welded with a strip type 309L, on a
carbon steel plate, with typical parameters, the dilution is about
10%, the second layer, welded with same parameters, will have
a dilution around 25%.
Magnetic steering is used to reduce the risk of lack of fusion
at the overlap, and to increase the flatness of the surface of the
deposit.
Strip positioning
When working on a curved surface, the molten pool is relatively
large, and the liquid slag and the liquid metal have the tendency
to flow to the lowest point of the curved surface. Thus, the
position of the strip will have a big influence on the dilution level
and on the profile of the bead. This effect takes place when the
diameter becomes smaller than 3 metres, the smaller the
diameter, the bigger the influence.

 General Requirements of the Overlay

5000-0365
2570-25

Specifications generally require a ferrite level on the surface and chemical composition at a specified distance
from the surface. The deposit will pass corrosion resistance and guided side-bend testing after post weld heat
treatment. If the equipment is required to conform to ASME IX code, reference should be made to QW-214

Chemical analysis Corrosion tests

Generally, the specified chemical analysis is required to conform
to the composition for the undiluted weld metal of the equivalent
AWS grade MMA electrode.
For applications in the petrochemical industry, the required
analysis needs to be controlled at -3 or 3.2 mm bellow the
surface of the deposit.
For applications in the nuclear industry, the requirement is generally
for the undiluted weld metal from the “strip -flux” combination.
Ferrite level
Ferrite level is generally indicated in FN (Ferrite Number) and is
calculated using the WRC 92 diagram or measured on the
surface of the deposit, in the as welded condition, with a
calibrated instrument.
For petrochemical industry applications, a minimum ferrite
number is specified, FN 3 to 5, to avoid hot cracking, and a
maximum ferrite number is specified, FN 8 to 10, to avoid a
continuous band of delta ferrite, where sigma phase can be
formed during PWHT.
In case of specific corrosive environments such as urea
specifications, ferrite should be minimised, FN <0.6. In the case
of duplex weld overlay, FN is recommended to be in the range
35 - 75.
The aim of corrosion testing is to evaluate the effect of the
manufacturing process. Standard stainless steel grades are
generally required to satisfy an accelerated corrosion test such
as ASTM A 262 Practice C (HUEY test), to control the corrosion
rate, or Practice E (Strauss test), for carbide formation.
Nickel base alloys are mainly tested to ASTM G 28A for
corrosion rate and corrosion penetration or ASTM G 48 A
to analyse the resistance to pitting corrosion.
For specific applications, the specification may request particular
testing such as: stress-corrosion or corrosion in a specific
media.
Disbonding test
Conducted following ASTM G 146, this test is mainly required for
petrochemical reactor applications, when there is a partial
hydrogen pressure. This test is used to evaluate the bonding
integrity between the weld overlay alloy and the base material,
after a live simulation of the component.
For more information about the tests,
please contact OERLIKON Service.

Guide side-bend test

This is a test generally conducted after post weld heat
treatment, which indicates possible lack of fusion between
beads, inclusions and/or porosity.

AST and ELT fluxes

Similar to other welding processes, the most sophisticated components are the coating of an MMA
electrode and the flux for the submerged arc process, which determine the quality of the weld deposit.
Welding fluxes are characterized by their basicity, granulometry and composition. The most important
characteristics of the liquid slag which is formed during the process are: viscosity, solidification
temperature range, surface tension and interaction with the chemistry of the deposit.

For many years, the extensive R&D commitment of OERLIKON OERLIKON DRYBAG and METAL DRUMS packaging are

to the electrical arc. In the electroslag process, there is no arc,
the burn out of Cr is hence reduced. No alloying elements
are required and these fluxes are neutral. In some cases,
when specific strip compositions are not available,
compensated fluxes are required to reach specific analyses.
The main characteristics for electro slag fluxes are a large
quantity of fluoride and very low silicon oxide content.
Due to the large quantity of fluoride, these fluxes are able
to form a shallow layer of electrically conductive molten flux.
2007-474

Due to the very low silicon oxide content, the deposited metal

0109-33_ret
contains an extremely low oxygen concentration and
a high degree of purity in terms of levels and size of non metallic
inclusions. This is important for obtaining a good resistance
to pitting corrosion.
