Description

15L steel is used: for the manufacture of pile drivers women, rollers, housings, leashes, grips, saw frames, details of welded-cast structures with a large amount of welding, plates, pillows, and other non-critical parts, working medium under the action of static and dynamic loads; the castings 1, 2 and 3 parts of valves and actuators to it (details of the magnetic, covers, caps, electromagnetic actuators and valves), working in different environments at temperatures from -40 to +400 °C and a nominal pressure up to 6.3 MPa (63 kgf/cm2); casting equipment parts (valves) for nuclear power stations, heat supply stations, heat and power plants, experimental and research nuclear reactors and installations.

Technological properties

Name The value
Weldability Welded without any restrictions. Welding methods: SMAW, ADS under gas protection electroslag welding. After repair of defects by welding is applied leave in 619-660 °C.
Склонность к отпускной хрупкости Tend not.
Flock-sensitive sensitivity not sensitive.
Welding defects Welding defects of castings after cutting is usually carried out without prior and concomitant heating. By semiautomatic welding in carbon dioxide environment used welding wire SV-08G2S diameter of 2 mm at a current of 380-420 A. Welding defects by manual welding is done with electrodes Э42А type (GOST 9467) brand SSSI-13/45. When welding the hard contour of the casting or of the sample volume more than 2000 cm3 is recommended before applying the first roller to pre-heating at 120-150 °C. When welding is sample size more than 5000 cm3 it is necessary to produce preliminary and accompanying heating to 150-180 °C.
