We have received the welded clad plate sample of grade C276 + IS2062, E250 Gr BR from S2
Engineering Industry Pvt. Ltd, Bahadhurpally, Telangana for characterization purpose. The
sample has been welded by GTAW method with ERNiCrMo-4 & ER70S2 filler.

Below is the image of received sample.

Remarks:

 Chemical composition of weld bead near the root portion is closer to chemical
composition of C276 alloy (except %Fe). If the composition is checked towards the MS
side, there is an observation of dilution.
 The tensile testing of welded sample has shown similar strength with that of parent clad
plate.
 In the bend testing of welded sample, both face & root side bend were found ok.
