CHW-S3 / CHF101 (Hubei Atlantic Welding Consumables Co., Ltd.)

CHW-S3 / CHF101 (Hubei Atlantic Welding Consumables Co., Ltd.) by Zigong Atlantic Welding Wires Co., Ltd.. DNV TA certificate TAW00005J6.

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Moisture pickup in flux/coating leading to porosity in the finished weld
  • Batch used past its recommended storage or holding-oven life without redrying
  • Wrong polarity or heat input applied against the qualified welding procedure
  • Undercut or lack of fusion on fillet welds when parameters are not followed
  • Consumable strength/toughness grade mismatched to the parent plate specification
  • Unlabelled or mixed stock making batch traceability impossible after opening

Inspection checklist

  • Confirm the consumable matches the yard's approved Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)
  • Check the DNV Type Approval certificate number (TAW00005J6) is current and covers the application
  • Inspect packaging/canister integrity and batch date code before issue
  • Verify storage and, where applicable, holding-oven/redrying log for the batch in use
  • Review welder qualification record against this consumable class
  • Visually inspect a test coupon for porosity, undercut and spatter before production welding

Service intervals

Redrying/holding oven check (if a low-hydrogen or flux type) per the consumable's own data sheet, commonly checked every shift while the batch is in use
Stock rotation first-in-first-out at each goods-inward check, discard stock past its stated shelf life
Contact tip / feed liner replacement (if wire-fed) typically every few hours of arc time or when arc instability appears

Critical spares

  • Spare unopened canisters/coils of the same approved batch and type
  • Contact tips and gas nozzle for the feed torch used with this consumable
  • Wire feed liner (if this is a wire-fed product)

Safety

  • Welding fumes - local exhaust ventilation required, composition varies with coating/flux type
  • UV radiation and arc flash from the welding process itself
  • Fire/hot work permit required near fuel or paint stores
  • Gas cylinders (shielding gas, if used with this consumable) are a pressure hazard

Class survey

Class checks that welding consumables used for hull, pressure part or piping repairs carry a valid DNV Type Approval covering the intended steel grade and welding position, and that batch/certificate records are retained in the repair file for traceability.
