steel component
The thickness of the stainless steel component is checked by testing
the entire length of each tube.
Welding
Butt welding
Butt welding of composite tubes must be carried out in such a
manner that dilution of the components is kept under control.
The melting point of the bonding zone is lower than the melting
point of the stainless steel, and, if the bonding zone is exposed to

too much heat, a local melting may occur. Therefore, in order to obtain
the optimum corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the
welded joints, the following edge preparation (fig. 2) and welding
sequences (fig. 3) are recommended. See table 1.

A higher heat input may be applied for the root- and filler runs, if the stainless peel off is increased.
Sanicro 60 for waste incineration boilers.
3) MMA is recommended for manual welding to ensure low penetration and maintenance of the carbon steel cross section of the butt weld.
2)
Panel welding
Two types of panel are normally fabricated: either tangential panels,
tubes joined directly by a weld, or finned panels, with tubes linked by
fins (see figs. 4 and 5).
In both cases, shop welding must be carried out with a machine
specially designed for the purpose. The weld should not penetrate
the stainless steel layer of the composite tube, as this may result in
hot cracking or the formation of brittle weld structures. Furthermore,
excessive dilution of the fully austenitic stainless steel filler metal, during
fin welding (carbon steel fin), may also lead to hot cracking or a brittle
weld structure.

In summary
Bending
Composite tubes can be bent by the same methods as those used for
single-component tubes.
Cold bending is recommended for radii down to 2.5 x D. For narrower
radii, hot bending is recommended. Temperatures, holding and
quenching times are the same as for carbon steel tubing.
Heat treatment
Recommendations are for guidance only, and the suitability of a material for a
specific application can be confirmed only when we know the actual service
conditions. Continuous development may necessitate changes in technical data
without notice.
