RE: [MW:23114] Change of Brand for SAW Consumables

By Materials & Welding
Hi  Mhaskar,
 
A change in wire +flux classification is an essential variable in Sec-IX, QW -404. Look under the variables tables for SAW, in ASME Sec-IX. 
 
If you change the Flux a new PQR would be required . Please see the clarifications below for your guidance.
 
For SAW flux is very important.Flux can alter the weld chemistry significantly. Note AWS guidelines are minimal.Some clients want the PQR to be established as brand specific. There are  reasons.Not all  EM-12K wires are the same.
 
Thanks.

QW-404.9

(a) A change in the indicator for minimum tensile strength (e.g., the 7 in F7A2‐EM12K) when the flux wire combination is classified in Section II, Part C.

(b) A change in either the flux trade name or wire trade name when neither the flux nor the wire is classified in Section II, Part C.

(c) A change in the flux trade name when the wire is classified in Section II, Part C but the flux is not classified. A change in the wire classification within the requirements of QW-404.5 does not require requalification.

(d) A change in the flux trade name for A‐No. 8 deposits

QW-404.5

(d) For SAW — from the chemical analysis of the weld deposit prepared according to the filler metal specification or the manufacturer's or supplier's certificate of compliance when the flux used was the same as that used to weld the procedure qualification test coupon

You can change the wps without a need to qualify. 

Thanks & Regards

Dear All,
We have PQR of following details:
 
Process SAW with Filler Wire EM12K (ESAB) with Flux F7A8 (ESAB OK 10.62 Flux) --  Wire flux classification test must be available as per SFA 51.7
 
Question:
1.       Can we use Filler Wire EM12K (Bohler) with Flux F7A8 (ESAB OK 10.62 Flux) --  Yes , provided Bohler wire has a certification as EM-12K wire and a defninite trade name.
2.       Can we use Filler Wire EM12K (Bohler) with Flux F7A8 (Bohler Flux) -- NO YOU NEED A SEPARATE PQR. Look 2 QW-409 (C)
 
Kindly advise as per ASME Sec IX…with reference.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Thanks & regards

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...
