Welding till the End!
Austenite and ferrite stabilizing elements are terms used in the context of alloying elements in steel and other materials to describe their influence on the microstructure and phase composition of the material. These elements promote the formation of either the austenite phase or the ferrite phase, which are two different crystal structures in metallic materials. […]
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG welding, is a captivating combination of science and craftsmanship. It is considered one of the most precise and versatile methods in the welding industry, capable of producing flawless and superior welds in different materials. In this blog, we will explore the fundamental principles, necessary equipment, essential
A stress-strain curve is a visual representation illustrating how a material behaves under increasing loads. Stress, which is the ratio of force to cross-sectional area, and strain, the ratio of a change in dimension length to the original length, are the defining factors in this graph. These curves can be constructed to examine how materials
The ASME B31.1 – 2022 Power Piping Code plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and safety of power piping systems. One crucial aspect of this code is the meticulous examination and testing of welds to ascertain their quality and structural soundness. In this article we will discuss about visual examination as per Chapter

In the world of metallurgy and welding, certain alloy steels are revered for their exceptional high-temperature properties, among them being P91 and P92. These alloys find extensive use in power plants, industrial boilers, and other high-temperature applications. However, there’s an interesting restriction imposed on these materials: the combined content of Nickel (Ni) and Manganese (Mn)
Welding P91 material, a high-strength, heat-resistant alloy often used in high-temperature applications such as power plants, requires careful consideration of the welding process and the choice of welding electrodes. Both E9015-B91 and E9018-B91 electrodes can be used for this purpose, but E9015-B91 is preferred.
The selection of a specific welding electrode for welding stainless steel, such as SS321, depends on various factors including the application, welding process, and the desired properties of the weld joint. E347 and E321 are both stainless steel welding electrodes, but they have different chemical compositions and are designed for different purposes: Chemical composition of
Porosity is defined as “Cavity-type discontinuities formed by gas entrapment during solidification or in a
thermal spray deposit.” The porosity may be surface or subsurface, a single cavity, aligned, or clustered, and is represented by the following figures.
