Re: [MW:24405] RE: 24355] Impact Test & cooling Rate-Preheating (carbon steel)

in welding, lower thickness will have slow cooling  when compared to higher thickness weld which will have fast cooling rate, that is why to slowdown , preheat is applied to avoid hard structure which inferior for toughness properties

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.

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.

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?
