[MW:796] Re: Dissimilar Group number/Thickness combination PQR as per QW403.5/QW403.6

By Materials & Welding

As per the above PQR P1 Gr1 QUALIFIED  1.5mm to 12mm and PQR P1 Gr 2 QUALIFIED 5 TO 18.34mm ( ASME B 31.3 ) , SO Y ou can not weld P1 Gr 2 below 5 mm.You can  weld P1 Gr1 up to 19 mm ( because of above 19 mm PWHT REQUERED ,it is not clear.)

When Impact testing of HAZ is required by design, welding as per ASME SecIX

 

One of PQR qualified with a combination of group number and thickness welded together as 516 Gr60- 6mm thk and 516 Gr 70- 12mm thk

WPS prepared for the range of 6-24mm for both group numbers. (QW403.6)

 

In my opinion it virtually qualifies for nothing (except for 12mm thick) for a combination of group numbers

 

For E.g. I have nozzle SA333 Gr6 and WNRF flange SA350LF2 with thickness of 7.11mm

 

Where as in the above PQR, P#1, Gr#1 qualification range is 6-12mm and P#1, Gr#2 qualification range is 12-24mm and (QW403.5 and 403.6)

 

Please share your views, do my views justified by the correct interpretation of QW403.5 and 403.6?

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...
