RE: [MW:13580] Ultrasonic Testing & Intergranular Corrosion Testing; G28 Method A for CRO Welding on Carbon Steel with Inconel 625

Hi Abdul Ghafor Mohamad,

ASME Sec-IX is the procedure qualification code, not the code for design or construction of the components. If the component is intended for offshore applications and API-5LD- Specification for CRA Clad or Lined Steel Pipe is applicable design document then corrosion testing (clause 8.2) as stated below would be required.

May be it would be a good idea to look at the design documents for details.

Thanks

Corrosion Testing

A corrosion sensitivity test shall be performed as a manufacturing procedure qualification test (MPQT) on the CRA layers of austenitic steel and N i-base alloy as described below. The purpose of this test is to assure proper manufacturing procedures for austenitic steel and Ni-base alloys. It is not a test to determine susceptibility for use with a particular environment.

a) Summary of test procedure. The testing procedure shall conform to the requirements of the latest editions of ASTM A262, Practice E or Practice B. or ASTM G28, Method A or ASTM G48, Method A (Section 8), whichever is suitable for the cladding or liner material and as agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer. The method thatis used shall be agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer. Other practices may be agreed upon.

No requirement of UT & Intergranular corrosion tests.

Thanks

Dear Experts

I am qualified a PQR for CRO Welding using Inconel 625 on Carbon Steel plate. As per ASME IX, mandatory test is:

Dye Penetration Test
Transverse Side Bend Test
Chemical Analysis
Hardness (location may refer to ISO 15056 Fig 6 for NACE req.)
Macro Etch photo

What I am confusing is that Intergranular Corrosion (G28 Method A) and Ultrasonic Test is applicable to conduct or not?

Thanks

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...
