HIGH STRENGTH Ni-Mo LOW ALLOY

Alloy type A range of Mn-Ni-Mo low alloy consumables covering tensile strength requirements from 620MPa (90ksi) up to 825MPa (120ksi). Some are designed for as-welded applications whilst others are predominantly used following a stress relief PWHT. Materials to be welded These consumables are used for a variety of high strength steels. Depending on strength requirements, some examples are:
Tufmet 1NiMo E11018-M Tufmet 3NiMo

Microstructure The microstructure of all the consumables is predominantly ferrite; some will contain high proportions of acicular ferrite for optimum as-welded toughness (eg. Tufmet 1NiMo and Tufmet 3NiMo). Welding guidelines Preheat according to base material and thickness, although materials likely to be welded by the higher strength consumables will normally require 100C minimum preheat. With some HSLA steels interpass temperatures above 200C may result in a reduction of strength and toughness. PWHT generally dependent on base material and application, the solid wire ER110S-G is not recommended for applications requiring PWHT. Further information can be found under each individual product. Related alloy groups The 1NiMo.B electrode (data sheet A-61) is used for applications requiring maximum retained strength after extended PWHT. The MnMo consumables (data sheet A-50) may be suitable for some of the same applications. Products available

All the consumables are used for a range of high strength low alloy steels. The E11018-M and Tufmet 3NiMo electrodes in particular are used for military applications by the MoD and US Navy for construction and repair of naval craft and submarines. The Tufmet 1NiMo was developed for the offshore industry where high strength and 50C toughness is required in the as-welded condition. All of the consumables also have applications for general structural steel fabrications in HSLA steels, which may be used for cranes, earth moving equipment, and other highly stressed structural components.

General Data for all MMA Electrodes

Storage 3 hermetically sealed ring-pull metal tins per carton, with unlimited shelf life. Direct use from tin will give hydrogen <5ml/100g weld metal during 8h working shift. For electrodes that have been exposed: Redry 250 300C/1-2h to ensure H2 < 10ml/100g, 300 350C/1-2h to ensure H2 < 5ml/100g. Maximum 420C, 3 cycles, 10h total. Storage of redried electrodes at 100 200C in holding oven, or 50 150C in heated quivers: no limit, but maximum 6 weeks recommended. Fume composition, wt % typical:

Applications
Designed for welding low alloy steels used for pressure vessels (often thick wall) and other applications where high strength must be maintained after extended, or multiple, PWHT cycles. These steels may also be used at modest elevated temperature and tests have shown typically 15% reduction in tensile strength at +300C compared to the room temperature values for 1NiMo.B weld metal. It is also used for welding type 4130, and other high strength steels, requiring good sub-zero toughness for oilfield and well-head equipment. In comparison with the MnMo types (data sheet A-50) 1NiMo.B has improved resistance to softening at high tempering parameters.
