Re: [MW:24381] RE: 24374] RE: 24373] Time between Hydrogen Bake Out and PWHT

By Materials & Welding

After hydrogen bake out, it should not be more than 72 hrs without PWHT. Environment should be dry, no physical movement. It always better to do pwht as early as possible, such a heavy thick not advisable. Check all NDT before taking for PWHT

Once our shop got a relax from client to keep it as long as one week if the storage was done with assurance that relative humidity would be low and not create risk of cracking due to water.

What we did during that time was using heater in storage shade and monitoring humidity.

Anyhow,  no body is comfortable to see 15E welded joint stayed without PWHT too long.  PT/MT and volumetric inspection after PWHT is highly recommended.

Hi Mac,

 

One week without PWHT on 3.5" think Grade -91 Steel is too long. In spite of hydrogen bake out one may get cracking. Did any one check the hardness of weld and HAZ by any means (just for curiosity??).

 

Also prior to the DHT the welds should be cooled to Mf   temperature which is generally  the ambient temperature. In absence of it full martens tic transformation won't happen causing poor creep strength in these steels. DHT may be adopted before the PWHT, however not advised to delay PWHT so long.

 

It's worth looking at.

 

Thanks.

Dear Sirs,

We welded a 15E Pipe material (16 inch - 87mm thickness).
Our procedure will be preheated with 205 deg centigrade then welding and will be
( hydrogen ) bakeout and perform PAUT, If accepted in PAUT, immediately followed
by PWHT and will perform MT.
Process is B31.1

The joint has been accepted by PAUT, my query is, how long should be acceptable if there is a delay in performing PWHT?
Right now it is almost 1 week that the welded joint is not yet PWHT.

Need your advice.

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...
