▪ Wear hand shields with an adequate shade grade during welding operations and
supervising the welding work. Select the correct shade grade for filter lenses and filter
plates suitable for exact welding work by referring the standard JIS T81 41.
▪ Wear suitable protectors for protecting you from an arc ray; e.g., safety leather glove for
welding, long sleeve shirt, foot cover, leather apron.
▪ Use, at need, shade curtains for welding by surrounding the welding areas in order to
prevent accompanied workers from arc rays.

CAUTION CAUTION
Fire and explosion can take place.
The tip of a welding wire and filler wire can injure eyes, faces, etc.
▪ Never conduct welding at areas adjacent to highly inflammable materials. Remove

combustibles so that spatters cannot ignite them. If combustibles cannot be removed,
cover them with a noninflammable material. ▪ When take off the tip of a wire fastened in the spool, be sure to hold the tip of the wire.
▪ Do not weld vessels or pipes which contain combustibles or being sealed. ▪ When check the wire feeding condition, do not direct the welding torch to your face.
▪ Do not put a hot weldment close to combustibles right after welding finished.
▪ When welding ceilings, floors, walls, remove combustibles put at the other side of them.
▪ Any part of a welding wire, with exception of the potion appropriately extended from the
tip of the torch, must be free from touching the electrical circuit of the base metal side.
▪ Fasten cable joints and seal them with an insulation tape. The cable of the base metal CAUTION
side should be connected as close as possible to the welding portion of the work.

useful guide.
DW series:
DW series is the most popular type of flux-cored wire, most of which contains rutile flux. This series
offers excellent weldability with good arc stability and very low spatter generation. With CO2 or Ar-CO2 Flux-cored wire Solid wire
admixture shielding gas, DW wires show good slag removability and smooth, glossy bead appearance. (Rutile type)
Because of high deposition rates, highly efficient welding can be conducted. DW series includes those
suitable for out-of-position welding and those suitable for horizontal fillet welding for a variety of
applications.

MX series:
MX series is metal type flux-cored wire. Due to high deposition rates, highly efficient welding can be
conducted. MX wires offer excellent weldability with good arc stability and low spatter generation. With
some brands of wires, the amount of slag is as little as in gas metal arc welding with solid wires;
therefore, multi-pass welding can continuously be conducted without removing the slag on each pass. A
variety of MX wires are available to cover wide applications of thin plate, medium and thick plate, and
primer-coated plates.
Welding speed (cm/min)
Deposition rate: Fig. 1 Porosity resistance to primer
Compared at the same welding current, the deposition rates of flux-cored wires are higher by 50 - 60%
relative to stick electrodes and 10 - 20% higher than solid wires. Spatter generation in use of flux-cored
wires is much lower than in use of solid wires.

█ Tips for better welding results
1.2 mmΦ
Leg length of horizontal fillet (m m )

In addition to the tips for gas metal arc welding with solid wires, the following tips especially for flux-cored
wires are essential to use the excellent features of the wires.
(1) Because the wire is softer than solid wire, do not excessively tighten the pressure roller of the wire
feeder so as not to cause the deformation of the wire.
(2) In flat butt welding, backhand technique is better for stable penetration. In horizontal and overhead
fillet welding, forehand technique is better for flat bead appearance.
(3) In vertical down fillet welding, the first layer run should be straight and keep the welding speed faster
to avoid slag inclusions and to get better penetration. For the 2nd and subsequent layers, remove
the slag of preceding beads and avoid weaving.
(4) In one-side welding, welding parameter should carefully be selected to prevent welding defects such
as hot cracking.
(5) In horizontal fillet welding of primer-coated plates, porosity defects such as pit and gas hole are apt to
occur; therefore, the selection of proper wires and welding parameters suitable for welding
primer-coated plates are essential. Figure 1 shows the relationship between welding speed and the
number of pits occurred in the weld metal. Figure 2 shows proper welding speeds related to fillet leg
lengths. Welding speed (cm/min)

█ Tips for better welding results in Gas Metal Arc Welding █ Tips for better welding results in Submerged Arc Welding
(1) Use a CO2 shielding gas corresponding to ANSI/AWS A5.32/A5.32M SG-C or an equivalent CO2 gas (1) Accuracy of groove sizes:
purified for welding. The accuracy of root gap and groove angle affects the quality of welds much more than with other

(3) Adjust the shielding gas flow rate in the 20 to 25 l/min range. (2) Surface of groove:
(4) Use a wind screen in welding in a windy area because a strong wind causes blowholes. Rust and oil in the groove must be removed before welding to prevent pits and blowholes.
(5) Use a proper ventilation system at where general ventilation is inadequate. (3) Distribution and circulation of flux:
(6) Keep the tip-to-work distance at around 15 mm with welding currents less than 250A and at around Where a flux is supplied excessively on the base plate, the bead appearance becomes irregular

(8) Torch angle, welding speed, wire diameter, and welding current markedly affect bead appearance (4) Grain size of flux:
and penetration; therefore, adjust such welding parameters according to the application. A few gain sizes of a certain brand of melt flux are available. The most proper size depends on
welding currents to be used. The use of high currents with a coarse grain size flux can deteriorates

thereby causes porosity. Adjust the shielding gas flow rate in the 12-18 l/min range. █ A guide for selecting welding consumables for pipe welding

Note (1) Welding consumables shown with SR are suitable for the as-welded and PWHT conditions.
(2) DW-XXX and DWA-XXX are flux-cored wires. MGS-XXX and MGT-XXX are solid wires.
(3) In one-side welding, back shielding is recommended.

each welding consumable is designed to provide the highest performances with specific type of
electric current (AC, DC, or both) and polarity (DC-EP, DC-EN, or both). Therefore, when a welding
consumable designed for AC is used in DC or in opposite case, there are possibilities to deteriorate
the properties of the weld metal and usability.
(6) Some welding consumable can be used by both AC and DC-EP; however, the use of DC-EP causes
a little decrease in strength of the weld metal.
SMAW
(1) Low-hydrogen type electrodes should be stored in an oven (100-150°C) placed near the welding area
after re-drying was finished. Take out minimize amounts of electrodes needed for a certain work
from the oven. This manner is to keep the diffusible hydrogen content of the weld metal in a low
level.
(2) Use the backstep technique directly in the welding groove or strike an arc on a scrap plate before
transferring the arc into the groove to prevent cracking.
(3) Keep the arc length as short as possible to maintain good shielding by the coating flux decomposed
gases during welding. The use of a long arc can cause a decrease of impact value of the weld metal
caused by the nitrogen in the atmosphere and, where the arc length is excessive, blowholes can
occur in the weld metal. Use a wind screen in windy areas.
(4) Refer to the tips for Mild Steel and 490MPa High Tensile Strength Steel for other notes.

caused by nitrogen in the atmosphere. Limit the weaving width within two and a half times the
diameter of the electrode. When striking an arc in the welding groove directly, use the backstep Table 2 Recommended shielding gas flow rate

(4) Use preheating and interpass temperatures in the recommended range as shown in Table 1 in order (liter/min) (mm) (m/sec)
to prevent the occurrence of cold cracks. 20-25 20 2
(5) Use proper postweld heat treatment (PWHT) temperatures to ensure good mechanical properties of
the weld. The use of an excessively high temperature can damage the weld causing inadequate
tensile strength and impact value of the weld. In contrast, the use of an excessively low temperature
can cause poor ductility and impact toughness of the weld in addition to inadequate stress relieving. GTAW

(1) Control flux supply at an appropriate flux-burden height. The flux-burden height can affect the
appearance of beads and X-ray soundness. The most appropriate height varies depending on flux
mesh size, shape of welding groove and other welding conditions; however, single electrode welding
commonly use 25-35 mm while tandem welding generally use 30-45 mm.
(2) Use lower currents and slower speeds for root pass welding of thick plates to prevent cracking.

█ Tips for better welding results for individual welding processes
SMAW 2. Notes on usage

(1) Welding power source:
(1) Use proper welding currents because the use of an excessive current causes overheating electrodes Use a DC power source with constant voltage and the polarity DC-EP. Inverter-type welding power
and thereby welding usability and weld metal mechanical properties can be deteriorated. sources can also be used. When the use of a certain pulsed arc power source causes much spatter,
(2) Keep the arc as short as possible. use the wire with ordinary currents, turning off the pulse switch.
(3) Control the weaving width of electrode within two and a half times the diameter of the electrode.
(2) Shielding gas:
Use CO2 for shielding gas for general applications. Ar-CO2 mixtures with 20-50% CO2 can also be
FCAW used, but compared with CO2, porosity (pit and blowhole) is apt to occur. The proper flow rate of
shielding gas is 20-25 litter/min.

(3) DW stainless series has excellent usability and weldability with stable arc, low spatter, good slag (4) Protection against wind:
removal, smooth bead appearance, and high X-ray soundness. When wind velocity at the vicinity of an arc is more than 1 m/sec., blowhole is apt to occur, and
dissolution of nitrogen into the weld metal may deteriorate slag removal and decrease the ferrite
content of the weld metal, thereby causing hot cracking. To prevent these problems, use an adequate
shielding gas flow rate and a windscreen.

Note (1) ◎: Good, ○: Better, △: Inferior
1) Preparation for base metal:
(1) When cast irons have impregnated oil, the base metal must be heated at 400°C to burn off the oil
before welding. Other contaminants should also be removed off before welding.
(2) To repair a defect, it must be removed completely by machining or grinding (arc air gouging is not
suitable for cast irons) before welding. The welding groove should have a round bottom for better
fusion. Where a crack defect seems to be propagated by machining or grinding, make stop-holes
at both ends of the crack.
2) Welding procedure:
(1) The most appropriate preheating temperature depends on the size and thickness of the work;
however, Table 1 can be a rule of thumb.
(2) Stringer welding with the maximum bead length of about 50 mm is recommended to prevent
overheat, distortion and cracking.
(3) Peening is needed to minimize residual stresses. Just after one bead was laid, it must be peened
with a hammer to the extent that the ripple of the bead disappears.
(4) Comparatively small conical groove should be welded in the spiral sequence from the bottom of the
groove to the surface of the base metal. Backstep, symmetrical or intermittent sequence is
recommended for a long welding line to prevent cracking. The buttering method, in which the
surface of the groove is cladded first and the filling passes are laid later, is recommended for a
deep groove.

For 9%Ni Steel and Nickel-Based Alloy

█ Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

For 9%Ni Steel
For welding of 9%Ni steel, Ni-base alloys such as Ni-Cr alloy (e.g., Inconel) and Ni-Mo alloy (e.g., FCAW, GMAW
Hastelloy) welding consumables are commonly used to obtain sufficient notch toughness at cryogenic
temperatures. 9%Ni steel is used for storage tanks for liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied oxygen and (1) Use Ar-CO2 mixtures with 20-25%CO2 for shielding gas. The gas flow rates should be 20-25 l/min.
liquefied nitrogen, and LNG carriers. In the construction of such cryogenic temperature service (2) Refer to Pages 205 and 207 of the stainless steel article about power source, wire extension,
equipment, automatic gas tungsten arc welding and submerged arc welding are often used to ensure protection against wind and welding fumes, and storage of welding wires.
consistent weld quality, as shown in Fig. 1.
GTAW

automatic welding processes for bottom plates
for a LNG storage tank
Common to individual welding processes
(1) Remove scale, rust, and other dirt from welding grooves beforehand by grinding or other appropriate
means.
(2) Use no preheat and control interpass temperatures at 150°C or lower.
(3) Minimize welding currents and welding speeds to prevent hot cracking.
(4) Use no magnetic power crane because 9%Ni steel is likely to be magnetized.
SMAW
(1) Re-dry covered electrodes by 200-250°C for 30-60 minutes before use.
(2) Keep the arc length as short as possible.
288 289
For Ni-base alloy
Typical Ni-base alloys for welding are Ni-Cr alloy (e.g., Inconel) and Ni-Fe-Cr alloys (e.g., Incoloy).
Ni-base welding consumables are used for joining these Ni-base alloys and dissimilar-metal joints GTAW
consisting of Ni-base alloy and low alloy steel, stainless steel and low alloy steel, and the like.
(1) Use DC-EN polarity.
(2) Argon gas shielding with gas flow rates in the 10-15 l/min range is suitable where welding currents
█ Tips for better welding results for individual welding processes are within 100-200A. In one-side welding, back shielding is needed to avoid oxidation of the back
side bead.
SMAW (3) Control the arc length at approximately 2-3 mm because the use of an excessive arc length may
cause lack of shielding, thereby causing blowholes.
(1) Use proper welding currents because the use of an excessive welding current causes electrode-burn (4) Use no preheating and control interpass temperatures at 150°C or lower.
and thereby usability and weld metal properties can be deteriorated. (5) Minimize welding currents and speeds to prevent hot cracking.
(2) Use no preheating for welding matching Ni-base alloys. Control interpass temperatures at 150°C or
lower.
(3) Use the backstep technique when an arc is struck in the welding groove, or strike an arc on a piece of
metal outside the groove to prevent the occurrence of blowholes at the arc starting area of a bead.
(4) Keep the arc length as short as possible.
(5) Use flat-position welding as much as possible because vertical or overhead welding requires higher
welding skill.
(6) Minimize welding currents and speeds to prevent hot cracking.
FCAW
(1) Use Ar-CO2 mixtures with 20-25%CO2 for shielding gas. The gas flow rates should be 20-25 l/min.
(2) Refer to Pages 205 of the stainless steel article about power source, wire extension, protection
against wind and welding fumes, and storage of welding wires.
GMAW
(1) Pulsed arc welding with the spray droplet transfer mode using low currents is most appropriate,
although conventional gas metal arc welding power sources can be used. DC-EP polarity is suitable.
(2) Argon gas shielding with gas flow rates in the 25-30 l/min range is suitable. Ar-He mixture gases are
also suitable.
(3) Use no preheating and control interpass temperatures at 150°C or lower.
(4) Minimize welding currents and speeds to prevent hot cracking.

Features:
(1) RF-1, a fine particle flux, can accommodate much more distortion in the reverse side of the
groove, joint misalignment and dissimilar-thickness transition of the joint to maintain good
contact onto the reverse side of the groove, which offers higher suitability for thinner plates.
(2) RF-1 turns to be a brick by the heat of welding, maintaining close contact onto the reverse side
of the groove and thereby assures a uniform reverse bead.
(3) With a multiple-wire welding machine, one-layer completion welding can be done for steel
plates with a thickness of up to approximately 25 mm.
