Re: [MW:13933] WATER QUENCHING OF S.S. PQR


Hello Mr. Gandhi
 
Can you explain how you got a ditch type structure in IGC Practice "E" ??.
Practice E is based on visual examination of a bent specimen !
I think you must have condcuted IGC Practice A test.
 
Also before you started the PQR, did you verify the Mill TC of the SS plates you used ?
Were the consumables used IGC tested by the consumable manufacturer ?
In place of water quenching why don't you just sprinkle water or cool it with a wet cloth after every pass to maintain the interpass temp.

Hi,
No need to do quenching. Normally interpass temperature for Austenitic Stainless steel will be 170 degrees maximum. You can monitor the Interpass temperature by Infrared thermometer and if it reach nearer to 170 degrees then stop welding and let it cool down and continue welding. we did like this and we found no defect/problem in PQR.

 
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Experts,
 
Is it advisable to water quench the Austenitic S.S. PQR (6 mm. Base Metal Thk., SA 240 Tp. 316L) subsequently after each pass and before proceeding for next pass?
 
Same procedure was followed during PQR of 6 mm. to 10 mm. base metal Thk. SA 240 Tp. 304L PQR to control the inter pass temp. max. 100º C. But, unfortunately, the PQR was failed in IGC test as per ASTM A 262 Pr. E. Intermetallic ditches observed in weld metal, and in H.A.Z. and Parent Metal- Ditch structure observed. Also one  root bend was failed in testing. What will be the reason?
 
Which precautions to be taken during qualification of 6 mm. Base Metal Thk., SA 240 Tp. 316L PQR and what will be the qualified max. range of base metal thickness?
 
Please share your experience with me.
 
Thanks & regards,
 
 
C. R. GANDHI
