Features & Applications

CHG-55B2 is one kind of category 1.25%Cr-0.5%Mo pearlitic heat-resisting low alloy steel TIG
rod and the weld metal has good integrative mechanical properties. It is mainly used for
welding heat-absorbing surface tubes of industrial boiler that work temperature is below 550℃,
high pressure and medium pressure steam tubes of steam turbines that work temperature is
below 510℃.

Notice: 1) To avoid rust the wire must be kept in dry condition and keep the package in good
condition also before welding.
2) To prevent welding defect the shield gas should be pure particularly no moisture in
it.
3) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination,
rust, moisture and so on.
4) The flowrate of the shield gas should be 9L-14L/minite when the current is
100A-120A and it should be 14L-18L/minite when the current is 200A-300A. The
extention of tungsten electrode should be 3mm-5mm and arc length should be
1mm-3mm. wind speed ≤1.0m/s. It is better to fill shield gas on the backside of
welded joint in welding.
5) The temperature for both preheating and interpass temperature should be 180℃
-300℃ and temperature of PWHT should be 675℃-705℃. To guaranty tensile
strength of the weld metal the temper time with 695℃ should not be longer
otherwise the temperature of temper should be lowered.
6) Large heat input welding will result in big crystalline grain of the weld metal and
the integrative mechanical properties will be deterioration seriously so in the
condition of the preheating temperature and interpass temperature≥180℃ the
small heat input can refine the crystalline grain to improve the integrative
mechanical properties
7) The welding conditions mentioned above for reference only and it is better to do a
welding procedure qualification according to project before put it into formal
welding.
