[MW:13567] RE: 13563] Interpret IX-04-15

Because the supplementary essential variables must be met, the proposed WPS is not allowed - i.e. in QW-407.2 there is a maximum limit on time at temperature. Specifically, "The procedure qualification test coupon . . . at least 80% of the aggregate time at temperature."

Thus the maximum time (Tmax) at temperature is : (Tqual/Tmax) X 100 = 80

Or Tmax = Tqual X ( 100/80) = 1.5 hr X (5/4) = 1.875 hours

So the PQR does not have a long enough hold time to support the proposed WPS's 3.5 hour hold time.

Dear Expert
.
According to interpretation below could you please explain why the answer is "No". In my understanding WPS has change only time range but doesn't change in the temperature(logic "and" mean change both time and temperature).

In SEC IX QW-407.2 state that "A change in the postweld heat treatment (see QW-407.1) temperature and time range"

Question (1): Will a procedure qualification test coupon on 1.5 in.
thick P-No. I, Gr. 2 material and
postweld heat-treated at I,lOO°F for 1.5 hr with supplementary essential variable requirements met, support a WPS with supplementary essential variable requirements for production welding on 8 in. thick P-No. 1, Gr. 2 material that is PWHT at l,lOO°F for 3.5 hr?
Reply (1): No

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...
