[MW:21760] Re: Post Weld Heat Treatment Query with respect to ASME Code

By Materials & Welding
Hi,
According to UW40 (f) 5).. you are correct. (When a weld joint connects the parts of un equal thicknesses, nominal thickness shall be the the thinner of the adjacent butt weld parts. In your case if the shell thickness in the thinner one then you can use this thickness as a nominal thickness for PWHT calculations.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Sir,
 
Please clarify that as per ASME section VIII division 1, what thickness    must be taken for PWHT soaking time calculation. As per UW-40 f(5)- in head to shell joint, lesser thikness must be considered. But in our job,(P1 material ) our client inspector is saying to take the nominal thickness of head. Please give your suggestion.

Dear Sirs,
 
I AM ALWAYS GETTING A POST DELIVERY FAILURE NOTE STATING THAT THE MESSAGE IS NOT DELIVERED. CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OF THIS.....
 
This is the very reason I am writing direct mail, sincere apology for same. Query below -
 
The PWHT Temp range is different in ASME B31.3(Table 331.1.1) and ASME Sec VIII Div 1(Table UCS 56), but both are from ASME. The welding and welder qualification are as per ASME Sec IX, for both B31.3 and Sec VIII, Div 1.
 
Why ASME Committee put such a different requirement although both are published from ASME and material grouping is also the same, means the metallurgical properties should be same, i assume.
What should be the criteria of PWHT for PQR run on a Pressure Vessel? If I have qualified a PQR using ASME B31.3 taking account of B 31.3 PWHT Criteria, is it acceptable to have the same PQR on Pressure Vessel (Designed as per ASME Sec VIII, Div 1).
 
Looking forward for a technical clarification.
 
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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
