[MW:4585] Re: EN10204 3.2 certification

Dear Arpee,

3.2 certificates can only be drawn up by the original manufacturer of
the material. For this the company needs to have a certief quality
system and always the involvement of a notified body is required. It's
not allowed to draw up your own 3.2 certificates also not when a
customers representative is involved.
What a company has to do when he wants to cut 3.2 certified material
in pieces or wants to machine by which the original marks will be
removed is to re-mark all the seperate parts in front of cutting or
machining with a traceble identification to the original 3.2
certificate (if possible similar marks as on the original material)
and he has to invite a authorized body to put their mark near the re-
stamping in front of cutting in pieces and/or machining. Some
manufacturers have a re-mark approval from a notified body by which
they may re-stamp the material without involvement of this notified
body, they have to show this written approval if you are not sure.
Afterwards the manufacturer always has to draw up a so called re-stamp
declaration in which he mention how may parts with which dimension
where made from the original material, in this declaration they also
have to mention the original and new marks as well as the original
certificate number.

Hope this will help you out.

Best Regards,

Herman Pieper

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
