RE: [MW:9051] Repair of Body cracks for A 217 Gr WC6

Hi Vinod,
 
The service is "Hydrocracking  Service",thus there is every possibility of hydrogen charging in the base metal. I would think think in addition to the recommendations given below you nedd to incorporate additional requirements for a safe and sound weld and HAZ. If you follow the guidelines of API-510 and AWS -D-10.10-"Recommended Practices for Local Heating of Welds in Piping and Tubing"  it would  definitely help.
 
Thanks.

Dear Vinod,
It can be welded.But you have to dismantle the valve.
Do preheat as per A217,Weld it and then do Post weld heatreatment
at 700 Deg C.Soaking hours as per thickness.
Do the remachining where required because there
may be little distortion.
Do the crack removal by grinding.
Before proceeding grinding,arrest the crack at both ends.

Dear All,

We have noticed multiple crack during the replica check in the control valve body ( Material A 217 Gr WC6 , size 2 " X 2500 RTJ, H2 service) during the fire incident at our Hydrocracker plant.  We would like to carry out the repair jobs for the same,

Kindly share your experience and also advise whether advisable or not. Also share the WPS and cautions to be followed if repair performed by anyone in the group.
