Dear Sridhar,
                   thanks for swift reply,now its clear to me.

After  breaking the seal and considerable gap of time, re-baking is to be done for LH type electrodes,
as the electrodes would have picked up moisture by then  when exposed to the humid conditions. 
 
All low Hydrogen type electrodes may have > 10 ml  & < 15 ml of H2 per 100 grams of weld (except for
H4 type LH  electrodes, where it is less than 3 to 4 ml. of H2 ) and re drying  to be done  to reduce the H2 level   to < 10 ml.by holding them at 300 deg. C for 2 hrs. in the oven. 

Drying should be done only once and prolonged drying  (or) more drying cycles will whither the flux
coating and may produce cracks  on the coating surface and make the electrodes unusable.
 
The electrodes are then held in Holding oven (if required) at 100-150 deg.C,  if backed in large quantity
and to avoid repeated re-baking (re-cycling) and damage to the coating if  unused for any prolonged
period like unforeseen circumstances, holidays etc

Welders are supposed to use portable (kept at 100 deg. C or so) for actual welding. These ovens also know as re-fill ovens as the electrodes are re-filled after  every 2 hrs. of welding work or less.

Subject: [MW:17843] Regarding baking of low hydrogen electrodes

Dear experts,
                        I have query regarding baking of low hydrogen electrode, is there any universal rule/standard governing these as in some project rebaking is not allowed whereas in some project re-baking can be done only 1 or 2 times.

Query1: how many time can we bake the low hydrogen electrodes, if over baked what will be the consequence.
 
Query2: after baking we transferred to holding oven maintain at 150 ° C,  how long we will keep electrodes at these temperature

Regards
shashi

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
