[MW:24915] Combination of PQRs

By Materials & Welding

Dear Experts; 


  I would like to get your professional opinion on combination of PQRs as per ASME Section IX QW-200.4   I have 2 PQRs (w/back-gouging) and I would like to combine these 2 PQRs ;

·         PQR-1 Base Metal P355 GH Thickness : 8mm Process 1)Root : SMAW 2)Hot-Fill-Cap : SAW Back Weld: SAW 

·         PQR-2 Base Metal P355 GH Thickness : 8mm Process 1)Root : SMAW 2)Hot-Fill-Cap : SMAW Back Weld: SMAW  

 

My question is whether i can combine these 2 PQR for generating a new WPS ;                

·         Generated WPS : Base Metal Thickness : 16mm Process 1)Root : SMAW 2)Hot-Fill-Cap : SAW Back Weld: SMAW

 

Is it possible to use PQR-1 & PQR-2 for generating WPS for usage of SMAW for the back weld ?  What bothers me and makes me feel i should get advisory is since QW-200.4 (b) says;  For GTAW, SMAW, GMAW, PAW, and SAW, or combinations of these processes, a PQR for a process recording a test coupon that was at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick may be combined with one or more other PQRs recording another welding process and any greater base metal thickness.  Since my PQRs are carried out with 8mm thck. is it possible for me to combine them and apply SMAW Back Weld instead of SAW or not? 

Best Regards;

Demir

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
