[1] Preheat: Preheat depends on casting geometry, thickness and climatic conditions.
[2] Post-weld Heat Treatment: minor welds; Special arrangements may be agreed according to corrosion conditions. With low preheat and interpass temperatures (≤150 °C), post-weld heat treatment may be suppressed by agreement.
[3] Post-weld Heat Treatment: major welds; Air quenching may be agreed for very small, thin castings according to corrosion conditions.
Applications
Typical applications for this corrosion-resistant steel casting family include components exposed to corrosive environments in general engineering service.
