Re: [MW:3919] the substitute NDT

By Materials & Welding
Dear Eng. Mostafa,
If you wants the permanent record as it is the requirement of ASME Sec. VIII Div. 2 ....................
You have following two choices.
1. RT with CO 60 - Since It seems available to and fullfill ther requirement of Code.
As you mentioned you are worried about ineficiency of RT for 80mm.
You can do manual UT 100% weld length as per ASME section V - Article 4 prior to RT.
You can surely find all type of defects like Lack of fusions, cracks, Slags.
If the detected defects not acceptable in UT get them repaired. And for code requirement you can do RT for permanent Record.
 
2. Auto UT ToFD or Phased Array is the best choice for it and accepted by Code case 2239.
It may expensive and as you mentioned not easily available. If your job quantity is more you will get it and may be it will cheaper for you. But in this case you should find a company finalise the financial matters and then get the AUT procedure approved for your job. Qualification of AUT procedure is required. I can help you to find the NDT company providing the AUT services and write up the ToFD procedure. Contact me in this regards.
 
These are the two options.
 
Best Regards,

Nilesh Pathare.

I have material with 80mm thickness and it's known that RT is not applicable for application as NDT, so what is the substitute method for NDT and please give me the code case number for that?

Note1: the applied code ia ASME VIII Div II

Note2: If the substitute NDT is UT with permanent record but also it's difficult to get it what is substitute to get NDT with permanent record????

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
