    Metals Preheating Chart: Metal Group Metal Designation Approximate Percent Carbon Recommended Preheat

    Uploaded by

    Bruce Weathers
    This document provides a chart with recommendations for preheating various types of metals before welding. It lists metal groups and their designations along with approximate carbon percentages and recommended preheat temperature ranges. The metals include plain carbon steels, alloy steels with molybdenum, manganese, nickel, and chromium additions, as well as stainless steels. Higher carbon and alloy content generally require higher preheat temperatures.

    The chart provides information on recommended preheat temperatures for welding different metal groups based on their carbon percentage.

    The chart covers various carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels and provides the metal designation, approximate carbon percentage and recommended preheat temperature range for each metal.

    The carbon percentage of the metal determines the recommended preheat temperature range, with higher carbon percentages requiring higher preheat temperatures.
