[MW:7718] Normalising requirment

Hi,

As we all aware that ASME Sec VIII Div.1 do not speak on normalising requirement
Then when we say Normalising is done at 910 Deg.C and with holding time as 1mm/min, then what is the basis for the same.I mean acceptence code

Futher to this ASME Sec VIII Div1 says that if due to cold forming fibre elengoation is more than 5% then heat tretment as per UCS 56 to be done.However most of the client spec mention that normalising need to be carried out.
I feel that for small thk say 12-13 mm normalising is not appropriate and may warp the matereial.So in that case can we accept stress relieving?
In EIL spec normalising is mentioned above 16 mm if fibre elongation is more than 5%

Request you to clarify above query giving reference of code

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...
