Re: [MW:24977] P8 material WPS to comply QW 407.2_PWHT temperature_time

Dear Mani

If you have impact requirements the clause 407,2 also applies , in that case the requirement of new pqr is needed.

Secondly the long soaking time of 7 hours , will have some deteriorating effect on ASS, Kindly check that also.

In this case , you need to qualify new PQR.

Read ASME Section IX QW 407..clauses.

Dear All,

I have a Query.

We have a SMAW-WPS [ASME SEC IX] for material P8/G1 – PQR with CHARPY tested. In this PQR it was post weld heat treated to re solution anneal at 1090 DEG C for 2 Hrs.

Now we have new production weld requirement on a part of 8 inch thick with PWHT [solution anneal] at temperature 1130 DEG C and soak time of 7 hrs.

Please clarify me, is it acceptable to revise the WPS [with the same PQR] to address PWHT temperature as 1130 DEG C, and time as 7 hrs to utilize for the new production weld.

In doing this I considered QW407.1(b) (2) 'PWHT within specified temperature range' – in this case specified temperature range for solution anneal as 1040 DEG C minimum by ASTM A351, and NO maximum is specified.

I appreciate your response with the intent requirement of QW 407.2

Regards, MANIVANNAN.P

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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

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...
