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,

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
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...
