Re: [MW:12327] Dual Qualification to AWS D1.1 and ASME Sect IX in 6G/6GR Position

Dear Ganesan

In general you can qualify welder and welding operator and the procedure with both standards, but about 6GR that is defined in AWD D1.1, this position covers all other positions, but in ASME Sec. IX because you shall mention this position as a special position, the qualification range will be just this position.

About the testing according to ASME and AWS, test description and dimension are the same. You have to care just about ranges of qualifications.

Dear Experts

I'm not sure if either AWS D1.1 and/or ASME Sect. IX ( both year 2010 )prohibits using PQR qualified to other codes.

However ASME do not have any provision for 6GR Position but only recognize "special position" in QW-303.3.

According to AWS D1.1-Note "d" in Table 4.10 & Note "c" in Table 4.1-PQT Pls refer attached AWS Interpretation

I need all you guidance best method on:-

1 - Qualifying Welding Procedure Qualification to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX in one Test. ( with/without Impact Energy value ).
2 - Welder Qualification using PQR qualified to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX
3 - Propose to use Dual Codes Qualification in one Welder/Welding Operator's Certificate.

And also want to welders using PQR qualified to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX.
Weld Process - SMAW , FCAW . GMAW , GTAW , SMAW/FCAW, GTAW/SMAW....etc

My purpose.
1 - Reduce number of PQR and Welder Qualification
2 - Minimize Certification documenation and necessary follow-up
3 - Muliti-purpose welder/welding operator

With Warmest Regards

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...
