Mr. Dharmadattu,
If it is CS with AS the esigner feels substitution with a lower grade
material is acceptable due application point of
view. Then why not an electrode equivalent to that material. If you are particular, you can use electrode suitable
to P-4 also. But it is not required.
If it is CS with AS, a lower grade consumable (equal to CS - min. E 7018 or ER 70S-2) is recommended.
Preheating could be done for P11 to an extent of 100 - 150 C if required.
If it is CS with SS, (equal to SS - E 309 or ER 309L) is recommended to take care of corrosion aspects
due to use of CS..
If it is SS with AS, (equal to SS - E 309 or ER 309L) is recommended for an application Temp. of <500 deg C.
If it is SS with AS, (equal to SS - E Cr Ni Fe 3 or ER Cr Ni Fe3) is recommended for an application Temp.
of >500 deg C. If SS is of 316 type, add Mo to it.
Trust above info. could be of help to you.
