Production and application

12X18H9T steel is an austenitic class chromium-nickel alloy. It is melted in electric arc furnaces. Production is regulated by the following GOSTs: 18 143−72; 5632−72;18 907−73; 4405−75; 5949−75;5582−75; 7350−77; 4986−79; 25054−81; 9940−81; 9941−81; and also TU 14−1-377−72, 14−1-416−72 and 14−1-565−84. Such steel is used in welded structures (heat exchangers, vessels) operating in dilute solutions of _HNO3, medium concentrations of organic acids, organic solvents, under the action of soil and atmospheric moisture, cryogenic temperatures up to -196 ° C. It is used in power engineering industry at temperatures up to +600°C, e.g. for heat-exchange fittings of TVEL with water coolant, turbine blades, compressor and pump parts.

Corrosion resistance

According to GOST 7350−77, 18 143−72, 5945−75 this steel is resistant to intergranular corrosion. When tested by the method AM, AMU GOST 6032−89: after an hour of heating to 650 ° C sample is immersed in a control solution for 24 and 8 hours, respectively. Steel is resistant to oxidation in the air and in the combustion atmosphere up to 900 ° C, as well as under heat up to 800 ° C Steel is heat-resistant at t ° 600−800 ° C.

Process parameters

The 8-ferrite content should be taken into account in hot work. Castings with 20% or more 8-ferrite are heated to 1250 °C, those containing 16−19% are heated to 1255 °C; those containing less than 16% are heated to 1270 °C. Generally, the pressure treatment is carried out at 1180−850 °C. Heating and cooling rates are not limited. A high degree of plastic deformation is possible in the cold state. To relieve the stress of welds they are subjected to stabilizing annealing (850−900 ° C).

Welding

When automatic submerged-arc welding or argon-arc welding wire Sv-08Cr19Ni10B, Sv-05Cr20Ni9FBS, Sv-04Cr22Ni10BT andWith manual welding — type EA-1F2 electrodes CL-2B2, GL-2, EA-606/11 with a wire Св-05Х19Н9ФЗС2, Св-05Х19Н9ФЗС2 and Св-08Х19Н9Ф2S2. Wire Sv-08Х20Н9S2BTU in shielding gas is used for manual automatic welding.

Electrodes CL-11 and CL-9 with wire rod Св-07Х19Н10Б and Св-07Х25Н13 respectively are used for manual arc welding. When tested according to AM and AMU GOST 6032−89 without provoking heating, these electrodes give the weld resistance to general as well as intergranular corrosion in 65% _HNO3 at 70−80 ° C. Admittedly, the welds may be prone to knife corrosion. The welds obtained with CL-11 and CL-9 electrodes have, respectively: _σv=550 and 600 ^N/mm2; KCU=80 and 70 ^J/cm2;δ=22 and 2%.
