[MW:581] Regarding PWHT and Sand Blasting advice me

By Materials & Welding
Dear Friends
 
I have two queries that are as follows please advice me.
 
  1. We are constructing Horton Sphere, at the initial stage our subcontractor had submitted PWHT procedure for whole sphere, but due to some accessories to inserted in the sphere for PWHT purpose they revised PWHT procedure in two parts. That is by Internal Firing Method for whole sphere except (Bottom Centre Crown plate weld) and after welding of Bottom Centre Crown plate weld PWHT is to carry out by Local Electrical Heating Method.
 
By doing so, BVIS Surveyor is asking for 02 Nos. Production Test Coupons (PTC). One for PWHT by Internal Firing Method and another for PWHT by Local Electrical Heating Method. We tried to convince BVIS Surveyor for only one no. PTC as Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), PWHT cycle and other all construction activities are same for both the part but BVIS Surveyor is no satisfied and asking for 02 Nos. PTC.
 
  1. As per painting specifications codes and standard paining shall not carried out when the humidity is above 85%. What time sand/slag blasting shall start in the morning (as water due is present in atmosphere or the surface) and up to what time it shall continue in the evening? As you know India environmental condition and our site is near seashore.
 
Waiting for your reply, till then take care and good bye
 
Regards

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
