[MW:1573] RE: 1571] Some clarifications for BS EN 15614-1 : 2004

By Materials & Welding
Dear Shrinivas,

I don't know what's the reason but i couldn't reply on your message so
therefore I put my answer in a separate message.

1) You can find the demand for hardness in table 1 of the BS-ISO
15614-1, see footnotes remark "e" . Only when qualifying materials
from group 1.1 / 8 / and 41 up to 48 there are no hardness
requirements for all other group you have to perform such. Regarding
the Charpy-V impact test the following: if the base material
specification / certificate mention impact values for the base metal
you also need to test such for the PQR.

Both paragraphs of 8.4.2 applies when there are no requirements for
hardness and impact tests. This means that your procedure is qualified
for all positions accept the mentioned PG (5GD) and J-L045 (6GD) which
always requires separate PQR. I must say that the way they put it in
the BS-ISO 15614-1 is a little bit indistinct, in my opinion it was
enough to mention only the first paragraph, this avoids any
discussions.

2) If you need to qualify PQR for diameters < 25 mm you really have to
weld a test pipe with a diameter also < 25 mm, as mentioned in the
first row of table 7 chapter 8.3.2.3.

When the pipe used for the test weld has a diameter of greater than 25
mm, for example 30 mm, the qualification has a validity range of > Ø
25 mm in stead of Ø > 15 mm.

The interpretation is correct when somebody says that the lower limit
is Ø 25 mm.

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...
