RE: [MW:4684] ER70S-3 for low temperature application

As you have stated, ER 70 S3 are normally manufactured to meet -20 Deg criteria as per standard requirements ASME Sec II C. However if your project requirement calls for -46 Deg C, the filler metal also need to be procured with the filler metal certified to this as a special requirement or if your client accepts all filler wire batches can be tested at external lab. Note that testing at external lab might lose the filler metal manufacturers liability in case of problems. This is in addition to the fact that the PQR has passed the -46 Deg C requirement.

Better u Test ER70-S3 with GTAW separately at minus 46 c and u can be sure on this eventhough code does not call

yes you can apply PQR.

Once proven record is available. i think your PQR is LTC ( A333)material.

Hi members,

Please provide a suggestion for the following query.

I have qualified a PQR for GTAW+SMAW with ER70S-3 & E7018-1. The PQR is impact tested at - 46 deg C at root(GTAW) and filling (SMAW) and passed (Min. 50J energy obtained).

As per ASME Sec.II part C, E7018-1 will support up to - 46 Deg C, but ER70S-3 will support up to - 20 Deg.C only.

Since I have proven the toughness through PQR, can I use this PQR for job with impact test requirement of - 46 Deg C, even ER70S-3 does not support for this temperature as per Sec.IIC?.

Thanks & Regards
Muhammed Ibrahim PK

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

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

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...
