Re: [MW:5244] WPS thickness limits with PWHT

The Thickness restriction will be relaxed as per QW 403.6 when PWHT is more than upper transition temp. when impact is the requirement. When Impact is requiremnt the with out PWHT qualificaiton reange is T to 2T where with PWHT above Transisiton temparature it will be 1/2 t to 2T.

regarding your query, Yes max thickness qualified is restricted to 1.1T where PWHT exceeding upper transformation temp for ferrous metals, except P7,8 and 45, refer QW 407.4

Dear all

Is there any limitation of thickness criteria as per Sec. IX whether WPS qualified in PWHT or Normalizing /Annealing.

Thank you with best regards!

I think UHA-33 require RT examination after PWHT. No other ASME paragraphs specify the RT after PWHT.

ASME SEC. VIII DIV. 1 does not ask for RT of weld joints after PWHT. Please check your customer specification which may require the joints to be radographed after PWHT.

Dear friends

We just finished PWHT in an LPG sphere acording to ASME VIII section I, and I can´t find in the code the part that obligues to Xray after this treatment, any one has experience with this? where does ASME VIII say it has to be done?

Thank you

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...
