Re: [MW:24395] RE: 24355] Impact Test & cooling Rate-Preheating (carbon steel)

By Materials & Welding
When dealing with thick sections of fine grain structural steels, the welding engineer shall consider that although low cooling rate is favorable for impact toughness (especially HAZ toughness) but preheat is also required to reduce the residual stress as a result of high volume of the weld metal and reduce the risk of cracking especially on fist layers.

On one hand, a minimum preheat temperature is required (especially for fist layers) to prevent cracking and on the other hand, the heat input and interpass temperature shall be kept under a certain level to ensure coarse grain structure will not form (especially at HAZ).

One more addition to Alan's good comment:
In case of lower thicknesses, the cooling rate tends to increase and may lead to martensite formation. But it is not so slow and sustained a cooling rate as to promote grain growth/reduced ductility, as you are allowed to weld between preheat & interpass temperatures.

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?

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
