Re: [MW:8538] Weld Weave

As per the ASME Sec II Part C page no 11 in the general notes indicates weld layer shall be no more than 2.5 times of the diameter of the core wire.

More weaving will also cause more dilution !

EN standards recommend to limit the weave width to 3 times electrode diameter
 
ASME Code doesn't suggest the limit of weaving but  as a good engineering practice,  it is restricted to 3 x Electrode Dia in case of SMAW and 12-13mm Max. in case of FCAW / GMAW.
 
Effect of weaving:
1. Reduction in number of passes to be deposited
2. increasing the heat input
3. Higher weaving also results in reduction of shielding gas at the edges if the parameters are not properly set
4. It affect the side wall fusion, need to ensure the proper dwell time at the ends
5. Weaving speed need to be control otherwise causes the arc deflication
6. Higher weaving causes the reduction in impact properties

Dear all

if the weld weave length increased What will happen to weld and what
is the corrective action to be taken for weld
please advise
is any code reference, please tell me

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...
