Re: [MW:15813] PWHT of Cladded Equipment

GENTS, Which is the best PWHT unit available for pre and post heating? For jobs with cladding is there any special equipment with extra controls?

Because at this much temperature SS cladding may get sensitize and its property may get inferior.   As per UCL-34 cautionary note Postweld heat treatment may be in the carbide-precipitation range for unstabilized austenitic chromium–nickel steels, as well as within the range where a sigma phase may form, and if used indiscriminately could result in material of inferior physical properties and inferior corrosion resistance, which ultimately could result in failure of the vessel.   Can any body tell how to take care in such situation ? -- To post to this group, send email to materials-welding@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to materials-welding+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group's bolg at http://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups/MaterialsWelding-122787?home=&gid=122787&trk=anet_ug_hm   The views expressed/exchnaged in this group are members personel views and meant for educational purposes only, Users must take their own decisions w.r.t. applicable code/standard/contract documents.
