Hi Jose,
This issue was raised earlier in this forum. As per my knowledge base, majority of the SMAW electrodes
for this material conforms either to AWS SFA 5.5,E-9015-B9 or E-9016-B9 or E-9018-B9
As per industry experience greater success has been observed with the “-15” type electrode coatings
than other varieties. Primary factors influencing this success are enhanced compositional control of
tramp elements and better control of bead shape plus interbead tempering during welding.When using
iron powder additions, deleterious tramp elements or elevated phosphorous can “come in the
weld”.Thus E-9018-B9, electrodes require very precise control (on the purity of Iron powder) to control
the level of tramp elements/residuals in the weld. Chances are there that impact values of E-9018-B9
electrodes could be less technical requirements are specified up front and agreed upon by the
manufacturers and the end users.
One point of interest would be specifying in the purchasing spec, , X-bar or X-Factor < 15, where ,X-bar =
(10P + 5Sb + 4Sn + As) /100, where P, Sb, Sn, and As in ppm. X-Factor is a measure of temper
embritltement, which highly influenced by the above tramp elements.
The attached data sheets of Kobelco and Metrode are in E-9015/9016 category ,while Bohler Thyssen
have both -9015/9018-B9 type. The product of ADOR is in E-9018-B9 category.Many fabricators would
prefer 9018-B9, possibly due to better deposition efficiency. However there could be problems as
mentioned above.
If impact test of weld metal is not a strict design requirements then E-9018-B9 may be used (provided
it's purchased from known manufacturers, and the brand is proven, not just by AWS Equivalence).
Having said that impact properties are not a requirement of ASME Sec-I or B-31.1 codes on P-91 steel
but its advisable to have welding consumable procured with good notch toughness to have balance of all
types of mechanical properties and better service induced creep life, and creep/fatigue life (where
thermal cycling is experienced).
Thanks.

N.B:- If you get hold of API-938B- Use of 9Cr-1Mo-V (Grade 91) Steel in the Oil Refining Industry, read
that at your leisure. Though this document is not mandatory for powerindustries , but many good design
principles on P-91 are in this document.
Thanks.

Dear Friend,
E9018-B9 and E9016-B9 generally used for tubes or thin pipe welding without root run of GTAW.
I think only 9015-B9 have the creep rupture data. You can use Thermanit Chromo 9V of Bohler Germany
make.
Regards
