Re: [MW:25238] Multiple welders on single production joint

By Materials & Welding
Dear Prasad,

As per ASME Sec IX, Two welders can be used in single production joint full filling all other essential veriables as welder is qualified based on weld metal thickness not on base metal thickness.

Each welder can deposit maximum 7.46 mm only, which he qualified

You must have supporting WPS to weld 8.75 mm thk  with TIG.

Refer QW 306 and QW 351. 

You check client specification for any specific requirements

Dear experts,
I have a query n looking  for earliest  response
I had welders qualified on 1/2" OD with 7.46mm thk
Now we had a production joint of 2" OD with 8.75mm thk, which is required  to be    done with full tig
Now the question is, Can we engage two 1/2" qualified welders to weld 8.75mm thk??
Is there any clause in sec.ix for having two welders on single production joint to cater excess thk??
Or should we go for separate qualification using 2 welders on single test cupon??
Plz update me the clause no. If it is allowed
Awaitng for your quick response
Thank you all
Regards
Prasad

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...
