ASTM A193

Scope

Originally approved in 1936, this specification is heavily utilized in petroleum and chemical construction applications.  The ASTM standard covers alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials for high temperature service. This specification includes fasteners intended for use in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. Although, this material is often available in national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, if being used in traditional applications, threads are specified 8 threads per inch (tpi) for diameters above one inch.

Below is a basic summary of a few of the common grades. ASTM A193 covers a number of other standard specifications not covered in this description including B5, B6, and B16.

Grades

B7 Alloy steel, AISI 4140/4142 quenched and tempered
B8 Class 1 Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated.
B8M Class 1 Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated.
B8 Class 2 Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated, strain hardened
B8M Class 2 Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated, strain hardened

    System:
    CD1000DP – 1000ws capacitive discharge resistance welder
    WH1125A – Opposed air actuated weld head
    1/8″ tungsten upper electrode (wedge shaped tip with notch)
    1/8″ copper lower electrode (tapered to 0.075″)
    1awg weld cables

    The WH2125A is configured with a tungsten 1/8″ upper electrode that has a wedge shaped tip (0.07″ width) and a notch cut out to help gather the copper strands; and a 1/8″ copper lower electrode that is tapered to 1/16″. 1awg weld cables are used and the spring force is set to 15lbs for the weld pictured. The stop nut gap is set to 3/8″.

    The same welder settings were used for all four samples. The CD1000DP is set with Pulse 1 at 100ws, Pulse 2 at 400ws, and Total Energy at 500ws.

    The settings outlined above are a good starting point and provide good pull strength; but further experimentation with weld energy, spring force, and electrode tip shape can lead to even better results.

    Summary:
    The CD1000DP and WH1125A are an ideal solution for attaching the braided cable to the plated brass components. The notch in the tip can be removed if desired for a flatter weld spot, but the strands may spread out more. Higher energies are available if the pull strength needs to be increased.
