Material data sheet

Material No. 1.0345

This data sheet applies for hot rolled flat products as well as for seamless tubes for pressure purposes.

Application
This steel is required for construction parts in steam-generating plants, such as boilers, tubes flanges and collectors. He can be used in continuous operation up to about 450 C and for tubes up to about 450 C wall temperature.

Normalizing: Holding time 1 minutes per mm plate thickness, minimum 30 minutes. Stress relieving anneal: Holding time 1 - 2 minutes per mm plate thickness, minimum 30 minutes.

Processing / Welding
Standard welding process for this steel grade are: TIG-welding MAG-welding massive wire MAG-welding cored wire Depending on the welding position and the plate thickness maybe other filler metals have to be applied, which can be inquired at the manufacturer on demand. For these steel grades as filler metal the following electrodes and welding wires are recommended:
Process TIG MAG massive wire MAG cored wire Arc welding (E) Union I 52 Union K 52 Union K 56 Union MV 70 Union BA 70 (Union RV 71) Phoenix 120K Phoenix Special D Wire SAW Union S2 (Union S2) UV 400 (UV 306) Powder Filler metal

Arc welding (E) Submerged arc welding (SAW)

The steels can be welded within all thickness ranges according to the afore mentioned welding processes considering the general rules of technology by hand and automatically. The mentioned filler metals apply for highest demands. The details in brackets are for lower demands. Burning, preheating, welding and stress relieving annealing should occur under consideration of Stahl-Eisen-material bulletin 088. Specifications and standards concerning stress relieving anneal have to be observed.
