RE: [MW:12395] SMAW ELECTRODE FOR P91 MATERIAL
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 E9018-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).
Otherwise E-9015/9016-B9 should be the default choice.
I hope this would provide enough information on the above topic.
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.
Creep rupture data really makes the difference in addition to Mn+Ni %.
I think only 9015-B9 have the creep rupture data. You can use Thermanit Chromo 9V
of Bohler Germany make.

Subject: [MW:12354] SMAW ELECTRODE FOR P91 MATERIAL
Dear Group Members,
I am having 3 approved WPSs for P91 material.These 3 WPS are using 3 different
electrodes.
1)9018-B9 -Iron powder & Low hydrogen potassium coated
2)9016-B9 -Low hydrogen potassium flux coated
3)9015-B9 - Low hydrogen sodium flux coated
My doubts are
1)How we can justify which electrode is better for my use?
2)Any where in code it mentioned the suitable flux coating for electrode?
Regards
