While there is no direct correlation, with higher ferrite numbers ( >30) a factor of 0.7 can be applied to produce % ferrite.

Convert a number to a percentage?

To convert a number to a percentage, just multiply the given number by 100%.Example: 0.50 to percentage = 0.5 * 100% = 50%.


How to measure the ferrite number?

You can measure the ferrite number of a steel using a Severn Gage, a mechanical device; or using a ferrite scope, an electronic device, available from several manufacturers.


What is the purpose of Ferrite test?

The amount of ferrite present in austenitic or duplex stainless steels is called "FN" or Ferrite Number. For austenitic SS, a small amount of ferrite will decrease the tendency for hot cracking during solidification. Company specifications should have a required FN range in their welding specs. Too low of a number may indicate that there are hot cracks. Too high of a number may decrease the corrosion resistance, or the ferrite can convert to sigma at higher temperatures. Ferrite is magnetic whereas austenite is not. Duplex SS nominally contains 50% ferrite/austenite, although the acceptable range for ferrite is much broader than exactly 50%. There are several ways to measure the FN. As mentioned by Metalguy, you can use a Magne-Gage. I have used a Severn Gage and a Feritscope.


How do you convert a percentage into a whole number?

You can convert a percentage into a whole number by dividing it by 100. For example, if we have 500%, to convert this into a whole number you do: 500/100 = 5 Thus 500% is equivalent to 5.


What is 5 and a half as a percentage?

To convert a number to a percentage multiply by 100%. 5½ = 5½ × 100 % = 5.5 × 100 % = 550 %.


How do you convert a fraction to a decimal and then percentage?

To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). To convert a decimal (or fraction) to a percentage multiply it by 100 %.


How to do mutiplication by percentage?

Multiplying by percentage is easy. All you have to do is convert the percentage into a fraction and then into a whole number.


What percentage is 270 out of 538?

To find the percentage, convert the numbers into a fraction and then convert to percentage: 270 out of 538 = 270/538. Then divide the top number by the bottom number (270 ÷ 538 = .5018587) and move the decimal two places to the right to convert to percentage (.5018587 = 50.18587%).


What is ferrite number?

Ferrite number is a measure of = Chromium & Nickel equivalent in an Austenitic stainless steel material. It should be between 3-7% max. Very low ferrite can lead to cracks. It is a measure of denoting the ferrite content in an stainless steel. Ferrite Number has been adopted as a relative measure for quantifying ferritic content using standardized magnetic techniques. The Ferrite Number approach was developed in order to reduce the large variation in ferrite levels determined on a given specimen when measured using different techniques in different labratories.The ferrite level is only important to assure minimum exposure to solidification cracking when depositing austenitic stainless steel weld metal. The lower ferrite number is better for corrosion resistance, while balancing higher ferrite content to avoid solidification cracking in the weld deposit. I would not worry about lower ferrite numbers for clad overlay welding, if no cracking is observed (Liquid Penetrant verification).


How do you convert percentage to kilogram?

You cannot. A percentage is a pure number whereas a kg is a measure of mass. You cannot convert from a dimensionless value (like a number) to a mass (with dimension [M]).


How do you convert a number as a percentage?

Divide the number by 100, and add the pecent symbol.


How do convert a percentage in to a decimal?

To convert a percentage to a decimal number, drop the percent sign and divide by 100. Thus 10% becomes 0.10
