How to Calculate
Use the tables below to estimate the quantity of Where:
filler metal required for horizontal fillet welds, W is the weight of the wire consumed e.g., D=[(Area of groove x Length of groove x
and square groove and V-groove butt joints. In D is the weight of the steel deposited* 0.283) + Reinforcement (if applicable)]
cases where joint information differs from the L is the total amount of wire losses
tables, simply substitute your numbers in the To determine D, calculate the area of the groove Table data for square and V-groove joints
following formula: multiplied by the length; then multiply the result are based on the efficiency of stick
W=D by 0.283, the volume-to-weight conversion factor electrodes. To calculate for flux-cored
for steel. If weld reinforcement is involved, be wires, divide D by .80; for solid wire,
(1-L)
sure to add this amount into your calculation, divide D by .90.

Schaeffler Constitution Diagram
Nickel Equivalent = Ni + 30C + 0.5Mn
Calculate the nickel and chromium equivalents from

the weld metal analysis. If nitrogen analysis of the weld
metal is not available, assume 0.06% for GTAW and
covered electrodes or 0.08% for GMAW weld metals.
If the chemistry is accurate, the diagram predicts the
WRC Ferrite Number within ± 3 in approximately 90%
of the tests for the 308, 309, 316, and 317 families.
Chromium Equivalent = Cr + Mo + 1.5Si + 0.5Cb (Nb)
DeLong Constitution Diagram

Nickel Equivalent = Ni + 30C + 0.5Mn
Comparison with Schaeffler Diagram:

1. The Nickel Equivalent allows for a nitrogen pick-up
of 30N.
2. Ferrite Numbers for 308, 308L, and 347 covered
electrodes are similar. The higher alloy 309, 316,
and 317 families have about 2 to 4 higher FN on this
diagram.
3. Generally, this diagram correlates better with GTAW
and GMAW weld metals because it allows for nitro-
+ gen pick-up.
4. The Schaeffler austenite-martensite boundary has
been included here for reference.

1. Considered more accurate for predicting ferrite
in higher-alloyed stainless steels.
2. Copper (Cu) has been added to help determine
the FN of duplex stainless steel welds.
3. This diagram should be limited to welds that
contain less than 3Mo, less than 1Si, less than
10Mn and less than 0.2N.

This does not mean that other filler metal alloys are not recommended or of less quality. In all instances the

chart should be used as a reference only. Actual application should dictate the proper alloy choice. 310
The gray sections of the chart indicate “free-matching" alloys, which are considered not weldable. This is due to 309 309 309 309 309 431

the high percentage of sulfur or other low melting point elements that cause hot cracking. If high-quality joints

are required welding is not generally recommended. 310
This chart does not indicate welding procedure. Some stainless steels require preheat while others should not 309 309 309 440B
