[MW:2349] Re: 2345] Heat Input formula

Just run a PQR, get mech tests done; if all comes Ok, try to stick to the lower end of the range as far as possible. Sec IX allows +15% deviation from the PQR values. Also, PB's guidelines can be followed.

Friends

i)For SMAW process , The Formula given is a thumb rule but

ii)We generally major on bead length basis ,As we have observed in SMAW ,it is difficult to control the  consistent Current and Voltage

i.e.

Say For 4Dia x 450 length of electrode

We measure  the weld bead length after  burning say 400mm length of electrode  and the same is recorded in PQR/ e.g. 350mm bead length  for burning of 400mm electrodes . This way we control the heat input of weld to get good impact property

We can mention the bead length against individual size electrodes in WPS

Friends,

 

I have got the following formulae for calculating the heat input for SMAW and other welding processes'. Pl confirm which one is correct. As far as I am concerned, I am following the FIRST SET for all the process.

 

First Set:

 

  1. Max Amp x Max V / Min Speed : Max Heat Input
  2. Min Amp x Min V / Max Speed : Min Heat Input

 

Second Set:

 

  1. Max Amp x Max V / Max Speed : Max Heat Input
  2. Min Amp x Min V / Min Speed : Min Heat Input

 

Third set:

 

  1. Min Amp x Max Volts /Min Speed : Maximum Heat Input
  2. Max Amp x Min Volt / Max Speed : Minimum Heat Input

 

 

Regards,

Vasanth
