Re: [MW:12805] Welding Machines Calibration

Hi Tarek   Please refer the following standard: BS 7570 - code of practice for validation of arc welding equipment. After reading this standard you have to write your own company procedure and include in QA manual.

[MW:12801] BS EN 287-1 WPS vs. ASME IX WPS

Hi, Just started a new job as welding supervisor. Aside from lots and lots of other crap that is wrong with the way the company is doing things at the moment, they have such a scattered array of WPS's in both ASME IX and BS EN 287-1 that it is almost impossible to collate and use all the information. Our biggest client (national electricity supplier) is shifting to an entirely BS EN 287-1 controlled system, from a mix of ASME and BS EN, which means that we as a subcontractor of theirs must do the same. I'm busy working through the WPS's available to me so far and trying to relate them to one another, to see where we need to formulate completely new WPS's and where we can trans-code them to their equivalents. Also just to get the list of all of them in one place. What I'm hoping is that someone out there has done something similar to this before and how you approached it. If it helps at all, our BSEN WPS #'s look like this S B 3 03. 8 (20) S (SMAW, Butt, material...

[MW:12788] RE: Liquid metal

Hello, Please see the article on "LME". It would be of interest to you.Embrittlement typically initiates in the liquid phase, low melting phases will generally segregate along the grain boundary upon solidification and initiate cracking. The elements mentioned below are common culprits, but I've come across "copper induced " embrittlement also. Usually one has to be careful on these elements either while welding or during application of paints or any high temperature applications. Thanks.

[MW:12785] RE: 12781] quenching of stainless steel AISI304L

Yes.    For 304L quenching may actually be advantageous from a corrosion standpoint by minimizing M23C6 ppt. formation (yes – even L grades will form some grain boundary carbide during welding).  It may be disadvantageous with regard to distortion.  If highly restrained and insufficient weld metal in place may cause cracking.  You would have to supply more information.    Accelerated cooling to get interpass temperature down will likely have no effect – I have used water soaked rags to cool austenitic stainless steel welds from around  600F (315C)  to 250F (120C) with no noticeable effects.   John A.

Re: [MW:12773] microstructure during arc welding

Dear Antony 1 - Purpose of evaluating microstructure in mild steel is to understand weather some undesired phases produced during welding or not, however in mild steel producing such phases (such as martensite) is not a probable problem. The other purpose is to see how weld metal, HAZ and base metal arranged. 2 – As far we know, HAZ consist of three zones. The first is recrystallization part, the second is coarse grain zone and the third is fine grain zone. Each part is important in situ. For example unexpected growing of grains in recrystallization and coarse grain zones will affect impact properties of steel. Also dimension of these three parts is important. 3 – If carbon equivalent goes to increase, the presence probability of martensite will increase also. Some precautionary actions shall assist in welding, such as preheating.   Regards On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 1:11 AM, Antony Jopen < antonyjopen@gmail.com > wrote: Hi,  Could someone throw some light on the th...
