[MW:3620] Re: repair of lamination of plates or dished head

By Materials & Welding
SA 435 talks about steel plates and alloy steel plates.
Can you give the stainless steel plate specification?
More over UT by 0 & 45 Deg not enough. Other angle probes reqd.

Dear MA100,
1. Find our the area of lamination by UT exactly. Depth of the lamiantion shall be determined correctly.
2.Then excavate up to the required depth by grinding / cutting wheel. Start the grinding from outer edge of the lamination. When the grinder reach to the lamination air gap the edge will start blackened.
3.After removal of the metal up to lamiantion depth check with UT at outer pherifery of the excaveted area to check the extension / complete removal of defect.
4. Carry out the penetrant test on edge of excavated area to confirm the edge free from defect.
5. Get the repair procedure approved from your client with approved WPS. Carry out the repair by welding. If the Depth is more then after 5 mm build up you can carry out UT test from opposite side to confirm the bonding between the WM and Base metal. Reference shall be 1.6mm dia. SDH.
6. smooth ground the welded area.
7. Carry out the UT testing for bond /clad between the WM & BM from repaired side. Verify the required thickness.                  Reference shall be 1.6mm dia. SDH. for normal probe. Also carry out scanning with 45 degree angle probe at 2 directional (90 degree) to detect cracks. Reference shall be ASME notch.
8. Verify the surface cracks by Penetrant Testing.
9. Check Hardness of the welded area.
Close out this issue with one NCR and all relevant test reports.
 
I hope This will help you. Code expert members comments welcome & shall be considered.
Regards,
Nilesh Pathare.

Hi everybody

can some body help me to solve the following problem:
our dished head manufacturer fabricated an stainlees steel
trorespherical head (ID: 5000 mm) by spinning machine we found a
lamination defect in the knuckle area outside of the acceptance
criteria (as per ASME 435 , 75 mm diameter) how can we repair it? is
that allowed as per ASME standard, which article/

many thanks in advance
MA100

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
