RE: [MW:22112] Super Duplex stainless Steel weld (UNS S32750)- ASTMA923 Method C Testing

By Materials & Welding
I want to know if we are going for solution annealing what is measures for it? For example we are checking hardness after SR. In this case how we can ensure this?

Hello Azam,


Meeting the acceptance criteria of ASTM A923 Method C for weldments in as welded condition is HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE.


The intention of doing ASTM A 923 Method C on DSS/SDSS material is to detect the formation of detrimental intermetallic phases during manufacturing, i.e. to ensure how effectively the SOLUTION ANNEALING heat treatment is carried out by the manufacture.


Of course, if the weldments are subjected to SOLUTION ANNEALING then the requirements can be meet, but lot of practical difficulties are there in doing so at site conditions!!.


During welding we cannot avoid formation of INTERMETALLIC PHASES completely , because of slow cooling from higher temperatures, particularly  in multiple pass welding i.e in thick sections the percentage of intermetallic  phase formed will high when compared with thin sections.


But you can convince the client, by request for a technical deviation; you can substantiate the deviation by putting forward the following points.      


  1. Successful Impact test results, (Intermetallic phases deteriorate the toughness of the material )
  2. Successful Pitting corrosion test as per ASTM G48 Method A ( without any pitting on the test sample)
  3. Delta Ferrite Count within acceptable  limits,
  4. Hardness values within limits as per NACE requirements.

Dear Experts,

Pls share your experience on super Duplex Stainless steel weld:

We run PQR for SDSS material UNS S32750 Pipe to Pipe Single "V "butt weld, All the testing result in line with requirement like Tensile, Hardness, Macro,  Ferrite to Austenitic ratio, ASTM G48 but ASTM A923 Method C testing is not meeting the requirement

 

Acceptance Values

20.1 The corrosion rate is calculated in accordance with the

weight loss and total surface area (see Note 5). Unless

otherwise specified, the calculated corrosion rate shall not

exceed 10 mdd (see Note 6).

NOTE 5—The corrosion rate is calculated in accordance with the

following: corrosion rate (mdd)

= weight loss (mg)/[specimen area (dm2) × time (days)]

 

Even if sample will meet the requirement of ASTM G48 and Shell DEP 30.10.6018-Gen. it will not pass ASTM A923 Method C. ASTM A923C requirement is looking likemore stringent compare to ASTM G48.We prepare sample size 50 mm*10mm*thickness (3.4 mm). Pls share your expertise.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Mohd. Azam

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
