[MW:24358] RE: 24355] Impact Test & cooling Rate-Preheating (carbon steel)

For structural steels and pipeline steels (carbon and carbon-manganese steels) the preheat requirement increases with combined thickness. See EN 1011:Part 2. The objective is to slow the cooling rate to prevent the formation of martensite which is hard and brittle and susceptible to hydrogen cracking.

Subject: [MW:24355] Impact Test & cooling Rate-Preheating (carbon steel)

 

Dear all,

 

Background: 

impact testing is more critical for less(low)thickness than higher thickness.

 

Reason  : 

fine grain form during fast cooling and course grain form during slow cooling.

 

Question is:

Preheating use to lower the cooling rate for higher thickness.

So lower the cooling rate means form the course grain,course grain lower the toughness.

 

Preheating contributing to lower the toughness?
