7.9.5 Ferritic to Stainless Steel
For dissimilar joints in base metals consisting of a ferritic material (P-No. 1 through
P-No. 7) to austenitic stainless steel, the filler material selection shall be as
follows:

For service temperatures up to and including 315C: ASME Classification


E/ER 309L-XX may be used.

For service temperatures above 315C: High nickel filler metal, ASME
Classification EniCrFe-2, ENiCrFe-3, or ERNiCr-3. API RP 582 Table 6-1
restriction for the use of those welding consumables shall be strictly followed.

As an alternative when ferritic steel needs to be Post Weld Heat Treated


the ferritic material (P-No.1 through P-No.5) may be buttered with either ASME
Classification E/ER 309L or high nickel filler metal and Post Weld Heat Treated
prior to welding to the austenitic stainless steel. Subsequent welding of the
buttered layer to the stainless steel shall be carried out with weld metal nominally
matching the stainless steel parent metal. Such joints shall be qualified in
accordance with ASME Section IX, QW-283 on a representative assembly.
For services that contain sulphur compounds use of high nickel filler metal shall be
subjected to SERVICE PROVIDER agreement.

WELD REPAIRS

Unacceptable discontinuities shall be completely removed by chipping, gouging


(Arc air gouging shall not be used on pipe below 8 mm thick), grinding, or other
methods (dependent on type of material being repaired) to clean, sound metal,
and the excavated area shall be examined by magnetic particle examination MT
or liquid penetrant examination (PT) to assure complete removal of defects.
For partial repairs, the cut-out portion shall be sufficiently deep and long to remove
the defect. At the ends and sides of the cut, there shall be a gradual taper from the
base of the cut to the surface of the weld metal. The width and profile of the cut
shall provide adequate access for re-welding. As a general rule and depending on
size of weld repair, at least 50 mm of sound metal at either end shall be removed.
Welds containing cracks shall be subject to additional non-destructive testing
(Ultrasonic or Magnetic Particle). Repair welding will only be permitted after
consideration of the nature and cause of cracking.
Subcontractor shall not execute repairs to fully welded joints, defective or
damaged pipe and fittings or any other pressure part without written approval of
Contractor.
Subcontractor shall prepare and submit repair procedures to CONTRACTOR for
approval prior to the commencement of repairs. These procedures shall address
methods proposed for correction of distortion.
If repairs or modifications are carried out after heat treatment has been completed,
the areas affected by the repair or modification shall be heat treated again.
Repairs to correct weld defects shall be made using the same WPS used for the
original weld or other previously authorized WPS. Depending on the repair
configuration, a higher preheat may be necessary together with the use of a
smaller diameter electrode.
