Re: [MW:18052] RE: 18041] metallurgy of weld joint PWHT

Dear Sandeep:

A few things happen with Stress Relief:

  1. residual stress makes every thing brittle. Metals are more tough when they are not in tension and weldments always have residual stress at levels close to yield point.
  2. SR will temper the microstructure. This tempering like quench & temper steels, have a possitive effect on toughness and reduces brittleness.
  3. SR helps residual austenite transform to ferrite. This improves toughness.
  4. SR will reduce Hydrogen level in the weldment.

Hope you get the idea...

Dear sir

Thanks for your reply and I understand your explanations.

But now please clarify how does the brittleness changes after pwht?

I think no physical properties will change without change in chemical properties.
