RE: [MW:7383] Tack welding of Low alloy steels.

Hi,
Normally it can be done after 48 hours.But as per your customer spec.you need to do post heat immedietely after welding and PWHT(if applicable to your job) can be done later.But as you required to avoid post heat,PWHT(if applicable to your job) shall be done immedietely after welding.
Still you have an option to avoid post heat that you can request your customer that,you will do PWHT(if applicable to your job) after 48 hours after welding finished to waive the post heating.
If they accept,then no need to do post heat and you can do PWHT(if applicable to your job) after 48 hours.
If PWHT is not applicable to your job,then you have to do postheat as per your customer reqirements.
 
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mr. Kartik,
 
PWHT has to be done inmediatelly after welding?... Is it suitable to do it after 48 hours or not?
 
Thanks and regards
Alexis

Hi,
Please find suggestions as below.
Query:1. I needs to follow the same thing for tacking?.
 
Yes.If you are going to use this Tack weld incorporate with final weld.If u plan to grindout the tack weld..then no need.

2. If GT AW process i use ( No flux/coating involved, No question of diffussible hydrogen level to be dried off after welding)

for tacking, can i eliminate postheating?
 
Actually,Post heating is required by some customer to avoid cold crack if the PWHT is not followed immedietly after the weld.In your case,if you are use this tack weld as a permanent final weld and after tack weld if the final weld done after a long time,then you have to do post heat as per your customer spec.

3. Is there any other mothods of simplifying/avoiding postheating.
 
As the post heat required by your customer,yo have to follow..There is only option is you have to do PWHT immedietly after the weld finish


Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,

We Know Low Alloy steels materials like P4, P5.....requires

Preheat before welding as well as postheating after welding.

As per my client specifications, i need to needs to do 150 deg.C

preheat & 200deg.C postheating for 2hrs.

Query:1. I needs to follow the same thing for tacking?.

2. If GT AW process i use ( No flux/coating involved, No question of diffussible hydrogen level to be dried off after welding)

for tacking, can i eliminate postheating?

3. Is there any other mothods of simplifying/avoiding postheating.

P.Rao

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...
