The cold hardening of the steel explains that it may require more powerfull
equipments than structural steel.
Molybdenum and Nitrogen bearing implie also some more powerfull equipments
than Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steels.
Pickling
A nitro hydrofluoric acid bath (10-20% HNO3 – 1.5-5% HF) at 20-60°C is used for
the pickling treatment.
Cutting
- Thermal cutting (plasma, thermal sawing…). After cutting, pickling or grinding are
necessary to eliminate the oxide formed layer.
The alloy, stabilized by Nitrogen addition, can be very easy welded without hot
WELDING cracking phenomenon, using an adequate filler metal.
The alloy is not sensitive to cold cracking phenomenon.
All welding processes can be used. The fillerless processes may be used after
checking out the no hot cracking of the weld metal and the lack of porosities.
Filler material :
18-16-5L filler materials with a higher Molybdenum content and giving a fully
austenitic weld metal should be used to improve the pitting corrosion resistance or
when an amagnetic weld metal is required.
