RE: [MW:25610] Comparison for FCAW & GMAW

I note that it is a big job, and assume it is on onshore pipeline of many km in length. Automated GMAW (bug and band systems) are commonplace in the welding of oil and gas pipelines. Productivity can be excellent, assuming the terrain is suitable and the organisation of the welding spread is properly planned and organised. The issue of lack of fusion is managed by good welding procedures, which are qualified per project. There are many systems but you could start by looking at CRC-Evans and viewing their excellent videos which you will find online and give you a good idea of how it all works. A Google search will find other competing systems.

GMAW is prone to lack of fusion

it is better to go with FCAW because consumable is suitable for all position welding

Hi friends,

 

We have a big pipe line job in water segment.

We are planning to implement FCAW or GMAW technique to expedite the welding activity…

Please suggest me that which technique is most favorable for IS2062 material (equivalent to Pno 1) at site for 5G or 6G position…..

Your detail explanation will be more helpful on selecting the process….

Also in terms of cost – which will be economical for the project ….

 

Thanks & Regards,

Lakshman Kumar B,

Project Manager.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
