[MW:2569] Fw: [MW:2566] Re: lifetime of a qualified WPS

By Materials & Welding

Dear Mr.Raghuram

If code changes after some years & there is a change in essential/supplementary essential variables, the wps will be valid.

None, yes its forever as long as it represents your production weld.
However changes may be made in the nonessential variables of a WPS to
suit production requirements without requalification provided such
changes are documented with respect to the essential, nonessential,
and, when required, supplementary essential variables for each
process. This may be by amendment to the WPS or by use of a new WPS.
Changes in essential or supplementary essential (when required)
variables require requalification of the WPS (new or additional PQRs
to support the change in essential or
supplementary essential variables).

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...
