remove these contaminants;
eliminating arc-sputter and
producing cleaner, faster,
smoother cuts. Motor Guard

Testing Ferrite in
Pipeline Welds
In the oil and gas industry, it is common practice to use
underwater pipelines to transport liquids or gases from
drilling rigs, often under risky conditions. This requires
the use of cutting edge metal alloys with excellent material
properties, such as strength, corrosion-resistance and
resistance to stress corrosion cracking in environments
containing chloride. However, the maintenance costs
for these metal alloys must also remain relatively low.
Two major alloy groups cover all of these requirements:
austenitic steels and duplex stainless steels. Although Fig 1 — FERITSCOPE® FMP30.
these steels do possess these properties, they are greatly
influenced by the ferrite content. A low ferrite content can This involves all magnetizable microstructures being
