RE: [MW:23832] Welders Qualification Filletwelds.

By Materials & Welding
The Fracture test piece may not break. You have to ensure you load it gradually as s[ecified until it either breaks or folds over onto itself. I the piece does not break and you are not able to see any of the defects specified in QW-182 then the piece is acceptable. See below:
QW-182 FRACTURE TESTS
The stem of the 4 in. (100 mm) performance specimen
center section in Figure QW-462.4(b) or the stem of the
quarter section in Figure QW-462.4(c), as applicable, shall
be loaded laterally in such a way that the root of the weld
is in tension. The load shall be steadily increased until the
specimen fractures or bends flat upon itself.
If the specimen fractures, the fractured surface shall
show no evidence of cracks or incomplete root fusion,
and the sum of the lengths of inclusions and porosity visible
on the fractured surface shall not exceed 3/8 in.
(10 mm) in Figure QW-462.4(b) or 10% of the quarter section
in Figure QW-462.4(c).

Goodmorning.

To qualify a welder who's weld a filletweld, you have to take 1 macroetch and 1 fracture test.
The question is : When it is not possible to break the fracture test or when the fracture test doesn't breaks, what is the possibility (according ASME IX) to qualify the welder.?

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...
