[1] Preheat: Production welding by the foundry; ferritic/martensitic guidance is informative.; Preheat temperature depends on casting geometry, thickness and climatic conditions.
[2] Interpass Temperature: Production welding by the foundry; ferritic/martensitic guidance is informative.
[3] Post-weld Heat Treatment: Production welding by the foundry; ferritic/martensitic guidance is informative.; In general, production welds are major when prepared cavity depth exceeds 40% of the wall thickness; minor weld corrosion conditions may require special agreement.

Applications
G9Ni14 is used for low-temperature cast components, including cooling equipment and fittings. Other cast components used in this material family include valve bodies and pump casings. Applications include industrial process plants, heating circuits and power-generation equipment. Service medium, temperature, material condition and the finished equipment design determine the permitted duty; the grade name alone is not an operating rating.
