Re: [MW:18440] Welding of EN 8 to SA 106 GrB

For welding 40 mm thk. EN8 flange, with SA 106 Gr. B pipe, you can use any

low hydrogen electrode like E 7018.

The preheating is required at 250 to 300 deg. C. Pwht to be carried out at

640 ± 20 deg. C even if the vessel service conditions in this case is not a factor.

Good Morning,

I hope that docs for this material to be used in pressure vessel (as per ASME sec. VIII div. 1) are approved by designer/ client hence there should not be question for the suitability. Also considering that the vessel is not to be stamped like 'U', etc.

EN8 is carbon steel material and as it is not listed in ASME, it has no P no./ grp. no. In this case you have to qualify a WPS/PQR for EN8 (unassigned material) to A 106 Gr B ( P no. 1, Group No. 1). Welding consumables for this may be used GTAW : ER-70S2, SMAW-E7018/ E-7018-1.

PWHT will depend upon:

1. service requirement

2. thickness of welded parts and HAZ (if PWHT is not mandatory as per pt. 1)

Thanks & Best Regards,
Rajnish Dixit

Good Day Experts

We need to weld a EN 8 40mm flange(not listed in ASME) to a SA106 Gr B 14'' schedule 40 pipe. This will form part of a pressure vessel being built generally in accordance with ASME VIII Div 1.

The vessel service conditions in this case is not a factor.

Please advise on the following.

1. Is a pwht cycle required?

2. The best selection of SMAW electrode?

Your valuable input will be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

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

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

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...
