[MW:4340] RE: 4339] Fwd: Querry regarding the PWHT

By Materials & Welding
If you are a contractor you don't have this choice, if are a designer you need demonstrate to the owner not only with a qualified WPS, but a comparable service experience and other factors as indicated in the para 331.2.2.
 
Note: you need to qualify your own welding procedures, classified documents such as WPS/PQR can't be shared in a public domain. However members may share similar service experience if any body come across, which may be useful to you.

Dear Sir

Good morning. I want your help in the following matter

We are doing the CWS/CWR line having dia from 80" ~ 112" & thickness over 20 mm upto 28.58 mm O.P 5.5 Kg/Cm2.

We are carrying PWHT due to the thickness requirement, but we want to deviate as the para 331.2.2 of B31.3. So if anybody have qualified WPS without PWHT in such cases, please guide me & send the WPS for the reference purpose.

With warm regards

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...
