[MW:11432] RE: 11430] T91 P Number / Welder's qualification

No you do not need to requalify the welders.  See QW-423.1.  See also QW-100.3 and, especially, the last paragraph of QW-420.

 

The last paragraph of QW-420 reads as follows:

"There are instances where materials assigned to one P- or S- Number or Group Number have been reassigned to a different P- or S- number or Group Number in latter editions.  Procedure and performance qualifications that were qualified under the previous P- or S- numbers or Group Numbers may continue to be used under the new P-Number or Group Number assignment, see QW-200.2 (c) , provided the WPS is revised to limit the materials qualified for welding to those assigned to the new P- or S- Number(s)  and Group Number(s) for the specific materials originally used for the procedure qualification test coupon.  . . ."

Subject: [MW:11430] T91 P Number / Welder's qualification

 

Hi all,

  In our project, we have to weld T91 material, our welder's qulified in 2011 in PN°5A material, so according ASME sect IX edit 2007 they can weld T91 materials. But in the last edition, T91 is P Number 15E, we must re qualify the welders for this PNumber.
T91 is really P Number according lasr edition ASME ?

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

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

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...
