[MW:10883] RE: 10879] Duplex Claded Eqipt PWHT

By Materials & Welding

Dear Mr. Hedge,

 

When executing PWHT at 600 °C your corrosion resistance will be reduced because of the formation of Sigma phase (FeCr precipitates) in the microstructure of the cladding. Sigma phase can occur in the temperature range from 450 °C – 850 °C so if you will discuss lowering the PWHT temperature you should go for 400 max. but I would choose to propose withholding PWHT and take care of controlling welding parameters during production.

You may propose executing portable MicroVickers hardness tests after weld completion in order to demonstrate no high hardness values are present at the HAZ near weld surface.

Most important is to convince your client to withhold PWHT because of the corrosion resistance of the cladding. When client insist on any kind of stress relieve treatment you perhaps can convince them to use high frequency hammering of the cap layer and HAZ. This will introduce compressive stresses in the surface up to 2 mm instead of the tensile stresses present after welding.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Dear Friends

I have a query about The Duplex  cladded E quipment having base material SA 516 Gr70 of 50mm thk and clad of Duplex (3mm )

The eqipment require to undergo PWHT at 600C The Joint is clad restored by Duplex weld

 

i) Does the PWHT at 600C will affect  the Corrosion properties of Duplex weld (Corrosion test like IGC,Pitting corrosin,etc  as per GS8)

ii) If yes do we require to carry out PWHt at lower Temp.

 

Regards

Hegde P.B.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
