RE: [MW:24837] Hardness issue on weld metal

Asume Conde B31.3 in PWHT section  is ndicated  what time and temperature fdoyou need for making stress relief.

Specif section un this moment I can not tp tell you.

Also you hace todo consider Asme Conde VIII snd Asume Conde IX

At what temperature was PWHT, holding time, cooling rate.

Subject: [MW:24816] Hardness issue on weld metal

 

Dear Experts
We have recently welded 1/2" thick and 1" Thick pipes, Material : AISI 4130. Our hardness requirement is 197BHN-237BHN

This pipes are groove welded to same size of the pipes, Followed by GTAW(ER100S-G) & SMAW(E10018-D2) process. Root is followed by GTAW and SMAW for fill up and capping.on completion of PWHT we observed following hardness value.




After completion of welding and PWHT, we have found hardness range of 285HBN and 265HBN on weld metal. Also we performed PMI on the weld metal to determine the hardness issue, during the result we found following chemical composition on the weld metal respectively.

On comparison of chemistry for actual observed in the T.C and PMI result varies accordingly, those variation exceeds the standard requirement of ASME Sec II part-C. Those variation are tabulated for your reference, also PMI is taken on the undiluted weld metal of the capping.

 

We suspect that due to exceed of Mn and Ti, hardness increased. Please suggest or advice on the following issues.

 

 

NOTE-

Interpass Temperature maintained: 300°C

Preheat Temperature maintained: 210°C
