[MW:776] Electrode Qualification Requirement

By Materials & Welding
Dear all members,

I have a query regarding electrode E6010 & E8010-G batch qualification
test requirement as per ASME Sec II-C.

We have procured E6010 (SFA 5.1) & E8010-G electrodes and now we want
to do their batch qualification test. Which type of tests (chemical,
mechanical, RT etc.) are required for their batch qualification as per
ASME Sec II-C ?

Which are other things that I have to check in their T.C.
(Manufacturer's Test Certificate) apart from these qualification
testing ?

I will be very grateful if anybody can give me reply in little details
regarding exact type of testing.

Also, I want to further elaborate on this.

For E6010, SFA-5.1, Table 4 represents required tests.

We have size of electrode is 3.2 mm, so for this size "no testing is
required", as I interpreted. Am I correct on this ?

And what about manufacturer, even he is also not required to do any
testing if he goes by this specification (SFA 5.01-schedule I or J,
whatever it is)....then on what basis he can certify E6010 electrode
having 3.2 mm size ?

So, as far as SFA-5.1 is concern, for E6010 electrode with 3.2 mm size
no testing is required ??

I am confused on this point. Can you please explain or clarify my
doubt ?

ALso, I am not able to interpret the note (2) given at the bottom of
Table-4.....what actually this note (2) means ?

I will be grateful to you and will appreciate your reply on this for
my better understanding of code.

Thanks & Regards,

Krissy

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
