2 Stick electrodes for welding of heat resistant and high temperature steels Heat resistant steels are mainly used for components which are subject to operating temperatures of opprox. 350 C to 540 C. They are alloyed mainly with chrome and molybdenum and sometimes with Vanadium and have the required long term heat resistant properties for this temperature range. Up to 540 C these qualities scarcely oxidize. If additional non-scaling properties beyond 540 C are required, 12% Chrome Steels with additives of Molybdenum, Vanadium and Niobium and Tantalum should be considered. At temperatures over 600 C behaviour under long period stressing tapers off so significantly in heat-treatable steels that austenitic Chrome-Nickel Steels must be used. The basic type of this steel contains 16% Chrome and 13% Nickel with Molybdenum, Niobium, and Tantalum as additives to improve long period stressing. For nuclear reactor construction the steel X6CrNi is particularly significant. Stable austenitic steels are welded to produce improved heat resistant properties in the solution heat treatment state. The temperature during the welding process asolutely must be kept low because of hot crack susceptibility. Heat accumulation through local overheating (minimal thermal conductivity) is to be avoided. Hence only small diameter electrodes should be used (stroke pass welding). Generally welding is carried out without preheating. For larger wallthickness preheating to 100 C-200 C is advisable; temperature of between-layer should be at 150 C.
