[MW:733] Re: SNT-TC-1A 2001, Paragaraph 8.2.2 ( colour contrast differentiation)

Dear Mr Raghavendra

I was just going thro the pages (In box) of TNT journal published by
ASNT, the below is the extract

've noticed a few inquiries lately about Section 8.2.2 of SNT-TC-1A
2001 in the "Inbox". Having run into this particular issue myself a
couple of years ago during an audit, I have this to offer. Section
8.2.2 states in part "... distinguishing and differentiating contrast
among colors or shades of gray used in the method... ." In MT and PT
inspections, this usually means color vision capable of determining
red powder and/or red dye. In radiography this would be shades of
gray. The Ishihara color vision test is one of the accepted and
standard tests used to meet the needs and requirements for color
vision tests. A test standard does exist for gray scale — the Pelli-
Robinson test. Called my ophthalmologist and he referred me to a
supplier. S.C., Bakersfield, CA

However i could not find any links in the Bakersfield site

for more information you may writre to him or call him {(The Editor of

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...
