POWER GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

Power Generation Technology


Creep resistant steels were originally developed to
provide improved strength at elevated temperatures.
These creep resistant steels were metallurgically
designed with additions of chromium, molybdenum and
other similar alloys to produce the needed strength and
creep resistance required in most steam generating
facilities. Applications include heat exchangers,
header systems, and associated piping within a power
generation facility. Some of the most common grades
of creep resistant steels include P11, P22, P5 and P91.
Each of these grades has a varying amount of Cr-Mo and
other assorted alloys added.
Creep resistant steels require the use of comparable filler
metals that perform at the same level as that of the steel.
It is essential that the choice of filler metals complement
the steels while optimizing the creep resistance. In
addition, the mechanical properties of the filler materials
should adequately produce the toughness needed during
the start-up phase of the plant equipment.

Because of the wide variety of creep resistant steel types,


the selection of filler materials is also varied. Historically
products such as 1.25% Cr, .5% Mo or 2.25% Cr, 1%
Mo would have been used. Today however, due to the
increased demand for energy, utilities are operating their
facilities under peak load conditions causing them to
choose another grade such as P91 over one of the other
creep resistant steels.
The designation most often associated for the applicable
filler metals for welding P91 grade steels is a B9. ESAB
offers a complete line of B9 filler metals for the SMAW,
GTAW, FCAW and SAW processes. Each of these
products is tested in accordance to the respective AWS
specification and can be certified to the respective ASME
specification, if need be. Each lot of material is lot tested
and certified prior to the sale. If additional testing is
required, ESAB can accommodate such testing.
Throughout the years, the Atom Arc, Arcaloy and Dual
Shield brand names have been synonymous with
both fossil fuel facilities and nuclear power plants. The
engineering design built into these products has provided
fabricators with the highest level of reliability possible.
The technical information contained within this catalog
provides the supporting data to substantiate our vast
knowledge and experience in the development of
products to support the power generation industry. Since
all such product is produced in accordance with the
ASME Quality Assurance System, customers can take
comfort in the fact that these products meet or exceed
their most stringent specifications. Feel free to contact us
for further information or to discuss a specific application.

Dual Shield 7000-A1 is an all-position flux cored electrode


recommended for 0.5% Mo steels. It is used in the
fabrication and erection of boilers, pressure piping and
tubing, and other pressure vessel applications. Shielding
gas of 100% CO2 and 75% Ar, remainder CO2 may be used.
A 75% Ar/25% CO2 shielding gas mixture is recommended
to improve arc characteristics, increase wetting action,
decrease penetration, and provide easier arc control for outof-position welding. The weld metal analysis is similar to an
E7018-A1 low hydrogen electrode.

Flux 10.63, OK Autrod 13.20SC produces a metalurgically
clean weld which is capable of meeting X-factor of less than
15.This combination fulfills the stringent requirements for
toughness after step cooling treatment of the weld metal. OK
Autrod 13.20SC can also be combined with OK Flux 10.62 for
applications not requiring step cooling treatment. OK Autrod

Dual Shield B9 is an all-position flux cored electrode designed


for the welding of modified 9% chromium creep resistant
steels, such as ASTM A335 Grade P91 or ASTM A213 T91.
This product is specially formulated with a combined Mn + Ni
< 1.20% to meet a variety of customer specifications.
Dual Shield B9 product is packaged on wire spool basket to
allow for the product to be placed in a heated storage oven. In
addition, the wire is packaged in a vacuum-sealed foil bag to
prevent moisture pick up until the sealed bag has been opened.
