    Steel Preheating Chart

    Uploaded by

    Khuram Shahzad
    This document provides a chart for recommended preheating temperatures for welding various steel alloys based on their carbon content. It lists steel groups including plain carbon steel, carbon moly steels, manganese steels, high tensile steels, nickel steel, medium nickel chromium steel, moly chromium and chromium nickel steels, low chrome moly steels, medium chrome moly steel, and high chrome steels. For each alloy, it specifies the carbon content range and recommended preheat temperature to eliminate cracking, reduce distortion, and prevent shrinkage stresses during welding.

    The need for preheating increases as the following factors are changed.
    1. The larger the mass being welded. 5. The greater the speed of welding.
    2. The lower the temperature of the parts. 6. The higher the carbon content of the steel.
    3. The lower the atmospheric temperature. 7. The greater the alloy content.
    4. The smaller the weld rod in diameter. 8. The more complicated the shape.
