Hastelloy Welding

Difficulties in welding

Welding hastelloy involves a number of difficulties due to the fact that during the transition of metal from solid to liquid state there is a tendency for the formation of pores. During argon arc welding, the main source of pores is nitrogen. After the weld cools, nitrogen gas forms pores inside the metal.

Crystallization cracks

Hastelloy welding is associated with a high propensity for the weld to develop crystallization cracks at the boundaries of large grains, which have a transcrystalline structure. To prevent cracking, it is necessary to limit the content of harmful impurities and introduce elements that bind sulfur into the most refractory compounds.

Optimization of welding

Important condition is the cleanliness of welding materials surface and base metal as well as the binding of hydrogen. This is solved by the introduction of strong deoxidants in the weld pool (titanium, aluminum and others), as well as by the use of coatings or fluxes that can convert hydrogen into stable volatile compounds.
