INVESTIGATION ON WELDING OF VIRGO 104 LOW CARBON MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL

  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

VIRGO 104 is a low carbon martensitic stainless steel that is applied to the famous Three Gorges Project. By using VOD melting process VIRGO 104 has low carbon and [H] [O] contents, and shows excellent mechanical properties and weldability. The best solution to guarantee welding quality is PWHT by 600 Cx8h.
