[MW:22810] Offtopic: To improve quality of messages - all members request to pl. note

By Materials & Welding
We fully agree with the concerns raised here, thank you very much for your feedback sir!
in fact there are numerous posts in the forum to request members how to ask and answer a question, but we never tried to stress this issue, how to answer a question.

use meaningful headers/subject line
be precise and informative
If you don't know for sure, say so! A wrong but authoritative-sounding answer is worse than none at all
If you did research to answer the question, demonstrate your skills rather than writing as though you pulled the answer out of your pocket. Answering one good question is like feeding a hungry person one meal, but teaching them research skills by example is teaching them to grow food for a lifetime.

More suggestions are welcome.

To the coordinator of MW,
Of late I find that when a question is asked for expert opinion, some individuals are writing with names addressed to the individual who made the question. This is improper. This is a group forum and whatever is written is for all those who contribute and for benefit of all. Some are even asking for a reply etc etc...............
All questions must be generally worded so that any one in the group who wish to answer can do. All answers shd preferably be backed by std references appropriately or by personal experience.
Questions shd not be to resolve personal problems but to enhance and share knowledge. 

Some of my thoughts to improve the groups contribution. I know some of my friends have talked to me and even stopped contributing bcs some where we are not keeping self discipline among ourselves.

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...
