[MW:803] Re: Dissimilar Group number/Thickness combination PQR as per QW403.5/QW403.6

By Materials & Welding
 
QW 202.4 allows you weld dissimilar thickness material in Production with a qualified PQR(s). Not for the qualification of dissimilar thickness. The thickness Qualification range is to be taken from QW 451or QW 403.6 (if impact test is required) from the thickness used for qualification.
For qualification you need similar thickness (for full penetration groove welds). You can use dissimilar thickness but you will not get the benefit from thicker material (thickness) as the thickness T considered is based upon the tensile specimen thickness used.
Please refer Section IX Interpretation No. IX 86-43 which is nearly similar to this query.
Thanks & Regards,

Min qualified thickness can't be 1.5mm, when impact testing required.
Qualified thk range for P1G1 will be 6-12mm and P1G2 would be 12-24mm,
please refer the question again.

Dissimilar thickness combinations are quite common to qualify (in
particular for SR nozzle welds on equipment) per QW202.4

PQR as per QW403.5/QW403.6


The qualified thickness range is 1.5mm to 12mm (2T) for P1G1to them
selves,
P1G2 to themselves & P1G1 to P1G2 combinations.

The maximum qualified weld deposit is 2t (to is deposited weld thickness

during the qualification).

If you qualify a procedure with different parent material thickness
(groove
weld), the thickness T can be considered based upon the tensile specimen

thickness (T) used for the destructive testing of the groove weld PQR.
In
short, qualification of different thickness of relatively less use in
ASME
Sec IX.

Normally none of the construction/ fabrication codes does not allow
difference in thickness more than 1.5T (of the thinnest). Any Thickness
welded above 1.5 will not be accounted in design.

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...
