Re: [MW:4120] Pitting acceptance criteria

By Materials & Welding
Hello 
the better way about pitting analyze and to get a right decision is to contact a corrosion engineer to evaluate area according with visual and ultrasonic testing report- he will calculate base on remaining thickness, length, material spec, operation pressure, safety factor the corrosion allowance and the remaining strength of material for corroded subject (api 31G).....other is to calculate all above according API 579.....

dear sir anything biger than the calaberation notch wich is 1mm is a defect and i do believe it would be down to the welding engineer to make a desision as to wether or not to use the elbow i do bilieve that there is no specific area as to how much pitting would b allowed the decision would be yes or no or can the pitting b eliminated i.e repair welded as a welding inspector i would have some idea as to wether or not it way be used but would hafto come from a engineer and depending on what product would be going through the material

Subject: [MW:4105] Pitting acceptance criteria

Dear all,
 
We received one 40" elbow (ASME 16.9) ASTM A 860 material having so much pitting on full external surface. Which standard we can refer for the acceptance criteria? 
 
 
I referred in ASTM A 860, its talks about only depth of surface discontinuity(5% of the nominal thickness),  there is no detail about the area of the pitting allowance.
 
Please help me on this issue. Very urgent
 
Regards,
 
Gulam Kader

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...
