WELDING + CUTTING + AUTOMATION = POWER GENERATION SOLUTIONS

1

Power Generation TechnologyCreep 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 fi ller metals that perform at the same level as that of the steel. It is essential that the choice of fi ller metals complement the steels while optimizing the creep resistance. In addition, the mechanical properties of the fi ller 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 fi ller 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 fi ller metals for welding P91 grade steels is a “B9”. ESAB offers a complete line of “B9” fi ller metals for the SMAW, GTAW, FCAW and SAW processes. Each of these products is tested in accordance to the respective AWS specifi cation and can be certifi ed to the respective ASME specifi cation, if need be. Each lot of material is lot tested and certifi ed 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 specifi cations. Feel free to contact us for further information or to discuss a specifi c application.

When combined with OK 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 fulfi lls 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 13.20SC is used for welding process piping, heat exchangers, and pressure vessel fabrication.
