[MW:2462] Re: Casting WPS/PQR

Dear Abhijit,

I'm working for two days a week as a consultant at a foundry which
also cast this kind of materials for pump manufacturers. According to
the base material specification, in this case probably ASTM A351
refers to ASTM A488 for welding procedure / performance qualification.
For this specification the heat treatment is an esential variable so
they need to have a qualification including PWHT. An other issue is
the filler metal used. Most filler metal manufacturers don't execute
any testing for their filler metal after performing solution heat
treatment at 1070 - 1130 °C and I know from my expirience that some
materials don't meet the requirements after heat treatment at such
high temperature. I never faced any problems with filler metals for
Austenitic Stainless Steels such as CF8M after solution heat treatment
but for every PQR qualification specification adding and/or deleting
PWHT is an essential variable so I should say don't except it without
a coverning WPS/PQR.

Best regards

Herman Pieper
