Procedures
Clean joint area. Preheating to 600°F
(316°C) is recommended to decrease stresses and increase strength and
ductility. Use stringer beads or narrow
weave beads. When more than one pass is required, the slag must be
removed between passes. Do not let
the part cool between passes but maintain a constant temperature. Each
pass should be peened to help decrease
stresses. Diameters
