[MW:6099] RE: 6093] Flux to be used in SAW with PWHT

By Materials & Welding

The flux wire combination is acceptable provided the either the conditions of QW-409(b) or QW-409(c) are met, i.e. the flux is limited to the brand and type used in welding the PQR.  Obviously, the PQR should demonstrate that the required mechanical properties are  achieved.  Classification by the supplier is a simplification whereby you can substitute one manufacturers  product for another.  There are situations where the flux manufacturer either does not have sufficient demand or has not anticipated the need to perform a specific classification.  When an applicable SFA Classification does not exist, the Code allows the use of brand name and type, and compliance with QW-404.5 (chemistry or A-no.), in addition to mechanical testing to qualify the material.  (see interpretation IX-77-09 and interpretation IX-83-46 ).  Note that the Code does not permit reclassification by the user of the consumables, this is done solely by the consumable manufacturer (see IX-83-46, question 2).

Subject: [MW:6093] Flux to be used in SAW with PWHT

 

Dear all,
My vendor is using WPS as follows:
Process - FCAW + SAW
Base Metal - S355 K2G3/ API 2H /2W GR 50
Thickness - 50 mm & above
Wire for FCAW - E71T-1
Wire for SAW - EH 12K & Flux - F 7A8
Preheat Temp.- 100 to 125 deg.C
PWHT  Temp. - 500 to 520 deg.C
As per ASME Sec - II C Flux to be used shall be F 7P8 ( A denotes- as weld conditions &
P denotes for PWHT)                           
As  WPS includes PWHT Flux shall be used F 7P8.
Pl. guide me, weather flux used by the vendor is acceptable & if not what is to be done for the weld joints,those have been welded till date.  
Pl. reply urgently.
PSP

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...
