Welding Consumables
A CENTURY OF ESAB INNOVATIONS
In 1904, Oscar Kjellberg, a Swedish engineer,

was working on ships and boilers in Gothenburg,
Sweden. He was not satisfied with the quality of
repair jobs. His quest for a better technology
led to the invention of the world’s first covered
electrode. And thus, Elektriska Svetsnings
Aktie Bolaget (ESAB) was born. Today, ESAB
leads the world in providing welding and cutting
solutions.
At ESAB, every problem is an opportunity, every
sale start of an enduring relationship. From
supplying welding equipment to consumables,
cutting machines to working environment
products, ESAB, today has established itself
as one of the leading suppliers of welding,
cutting and working environment solutions in
the country.
ESAB products are now an integral part of
industries like Shipbuilding, Petrochemical,
Construction, Transport, Offshore, Energy and
Repair and Maintenance.
The ESAB group belongs to the world renowned
Charter Plc. Group, UK, and employs around
8000 people of which more than 600 are
engaged in research and development at
centres in Sweden, Holland, UK, Germany,
USA, Brazil and India.
In India, ESAB was formally incorporated on 10th
November 1987, and it has expanded through
a number of acquisitions. The organisation
operates five manufacturing facilities backed
by world-class R&D.
All the manufacturing units of Esab India
Limited, are ISO 9000 and 14000 certified - 2001 First Modular Platform for Welding Equipments
the only company in India, in the welding field
to receive such an honour. The entire ESAB
group including ESAB India has achieved 2002 Copper Fee Wire - Aristorod
ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification for
Environmental and Occupational Health and
Safety Management system. This is believed 2005 The Q Set Function
to be the most comprehensive certification
achieved by any global company till date

Consumables for Ni Steels
9% Ni STEELS FOR LNG TANK FABRICATION
Welding Consumables
DESCRIPTION
LNG Storage tanks are usually fabricated from 9% Ni steels to provide a combination of properties at a reasonable
price. Quenched & tempered 9% Ni Steels has excellent low temperature properties and is not susceptible to under
bead cracking or excessive hardening in the HAZ on account of its low carbon. Esab offers a complete range of
proven consumables, which have been used in over 30 global installations.
Nickel Based Consumables
The tensile strength of the high Nickel alloy Weldmetal is close to that of 9% nickel steels and has high resistance
to brittle fracture, good impact strength at -196°C, lateral expansion, side bend test and yield strength properties.
Special Stainless Steel Consumables are also available for LNG transport tanks and associated piping. Please refer
section on stainless steel consumables elsewhere in this book.
APPLICATIONS
The MMA electrodes are designed to weld on AC, largely to eliminate the magnetic arc blow problem of 9% nickel
steels. SAW is preferred for cicumferential welds and MMA for the vertical welds. Smaller diameter wires (1.6mm)
deliver better impact values. 9% nickel steels can be welded without pre and post weld treatment up to 60 mm, as
per ASME code, OK 92.55 is Preferred, when higher impact values are specified.

Small workpieces require a lower current, larger

workpieces a higher current, depending on the
dissipation of heat from the joint.
Cold cracking
Cold cracking will only occur if the following three factors

are present at the same time:
1. Hard phases in the weld, preferably martensite
2. Sufficient stress
3. Hydrogen dissolved in the weld metal
Hard phases form when the weld is cooled rapidly from

melting temperature to room temperature. Alloying
elements, mostly carbon, are forced to dissolve in the
weld metal and make it brittle. The following formula

Steels with EC=0.35 and below are usually weldable

without any problems at normal steel sizes. For the more
highly alloyed steels and steels with thicker dimensions,
an elevated working temperature is necessary in order
to reduce the cooling rate.
The elevated temperature also allows the hydrogen to

Cellulose electrodes
Welding Consumables
Cellulose electrodes are easy to use in all welding posi-
tions and are particularly good for vertical and overhead
welding. Cellulose electrodes are recommended for all-
positional welding where the mechanical properties of
the deposit are of the greatest improtance and radio-
graphic requirements must be met. Vertical and over-
head welding often require an electrode one size larger
in comparison to electrodes with other types of coating.
Cellulose electrodes are extremely good for vertical-
down welding.
Higher tensile steel requires preheating and higher in-

terpass temperatures than when the welding is done
with low-hydrogen electrodes.

WELDING TECHNIQUES
Welding Consumables
Torch angles
Flux cored wires
With OK Tubrod / Dualshield flux cored wires the torch

angle has a significant effect on slag control and weld
deposit profile. For both fillet and butt joints the recom-
mended angle between the wire axis and the line of joint
is between 60° - 70° and using a backhand technique
i.e. pulling, with the wire pointing toward the completed
weld. In this way the arc force prevents the slag from
running in front of the line of the weld pool and reduces
the risk of slag traps. For HV fillets the wire tip should be
directed toward the bottom plate at approximately 3-mm
from the line of the joint with a torch angle of 45° from
the vertical plate.
In certain circumstances the forehand technique i.e.

pushing can be used to advantage. On small fillet welds
where penetration is not of paramount importance the
higher welding speeds required are such that the mol-
ten slag is prevented from running ahead of the weld
pool. This also has the advantage of producing a mitre
fillet where as the backhand method tends to produce a
more convex profile.
Metal cored wires
Maximum penetration is obtained using a backhand

(pulling technique with a torch angle of 70/80° between
the wire axis and the joint line. This will also serve to op-
timise gas coverage and is particularly relevant to multi
pass butt welds.The fillet and lap welds superior weld
appearance is achieved using a torch angle of 60/70°
and a forehand technique (push). This results in a more
even distribution of Weldmetal, accompanied by a re-
duction in penetration.

BUFFERING
Buffer layers are used as intermediate deposits between
the base material and the actual hardfacing weldmetal
so that the following aspects are taken care of:
l Good bonding with the base material
l Hydrogen-induced underbead cracking is avoid-

ed, even on preheated workpieces
l Stress consequences are minimized
l Effect of dilution is limited
l Spalling in subsequent hard layers is avoided In case of hardfacing with very hard and brittle alloys like

hardfaced layers running into the base material based alloys, there should be a buffering by an austen

cracks in the hard weld metal.
The “relief checks” present in many hardfacing depos

such crack propagation. This is prevented by applying a
tough buffer layer.

Robotics for Arc Welding
Esab offers a wide range of automated welding solu-
tions using a range of robots from ABB. Robotics can
provide a cost-effective and modular solution for a va-
riety of welding applications with increased productivity.
The various advantages of using robotics are:
Built on an Open Structure
The robots are equipped with a wide range of universal

communications interfaces, configurable from S4Cplus,
the robot’s controller. They can be connected to a PC
for servicing purposes or the factory data network using
one or two Ethernet links. The robots controller contains
the standard field-buses and serial-channels for inter-
faces with a wide range of power sources and distrib-
uted devices.
Flexibility - Develop Custom Functionality
Using the arc-welding software ArcWave the robots can

be configured. For advanced and critical welding appli-
cations customized functionality can be configured us-
ing RAPID, the high level programming language from
ABB.
Pre-program Offline
New programs can be created, programs can be stimu-

lated or robots can be pre-programmed for a specific
functionality.
Position Anywhere - Portability
The robots can be mounted on a wall or inverted from

Productivity - welding speed
For materials which are welded by MIG, you seldom use
as high welding current as for unalloyed or low alloyed
steels.
The maximum weld speed is therefore usually lower
with MIG than with MAG welding. The MIG method in
comparison with Manual Metal Arc welding is highly pro-
ductive method for stainless steel, aluminium, copper,
copper alloys, nickel and nickel alloys.

293
Range of application - plate thickness - edge prepa-
ration
Use I-joints for plate thickness about 2-12 mm. Use

Vjoints or double V-joints above that. The joint must be
accurately cut. Gaps, if any, must not exceed 1 mm.
In order to profit from the economical benefits of the

method, the joint must be well planned and executed.
It should be easy to weld with this method, all dimen-
sions are to be exact. This will give an even weld without
burning through or giving root defects. It should have a
proper bottom section, consisting either of parent mate-
rial, a backing bar or a handwelded root bead. Having
this, the joint will withstand the deep penetration which
is typical for Submerged Arc welding.
Of course the joint must be clean. Impurities of water,

oil, paint and rust will always mean a risk of pores being
formed.
Submerged Arc Welding requires in short a more ex-

pensive edge preperation than Manual Metal Arc. The
difference in cost is, however, so small that there is no
reason to try to save on the preparation work. A clean,
well prepared joint permits higher welding speed. This
amply compensates for the more expensive edge prep-
aration.

pressure and the direction was oriented up through the
middle of the molten pool. This is the last portion to be-
come solidified.
In Manual Metal Arc welding, porosity is commonly

caused by Hydrogen from basic electrodes which were
stored incorrectly. Porosity can also be caused by mois-
ture, paint and other impurities on the fusion faces.
Gas Metal Arc welding is even more sensitive when it

comes to paint, oil and other impurities. Porosity may
also be caused by a poor gas shield. The surrounding
air is sucked into the molten pool and form CO (carbon
monoxide).
In Submerged Arc welding, the penetration is powerful.

Porosity may occur if the plates are lamellated. During
the penetration, the weld will absorb too much of the ox-
ides present in this kind of defect. Submerged Arc weld-
ing requires the same cleanliness of the fusion faces as
Gas Metal Arc welding.
The parent material must then be preheated. Depend-

ing on the disposition to hardening of it, you chose a
higher or lower preheating temperature or rather work-
ing temperature. If this temperature is correctly chosen,
also steels disposed to hardening may get a soft trans-
formation zone.
