Re: [MW:27518] Combination of PQR in same WPS

By Materials & Welding
Dear Ankur,

It is general guide line to reduce number of WPS / PQR & technically why increase qualification requirements beyond bare minimum.

Over a period of time & with great understanding even code has gone to the extent of recognising concept of sWPS to further reduce the burden of inventing the wheel again & again in advance fast moving technological life.

It is this technical philosophy that even the third test piece preserved by you shall be useful in an eventuallity as either
1. In case of major repair at site requiring one additional PWHT; The validation by additional PWHT & testing shall become best directional results before proceeding for repair.

OR

2. In future the same equipment under different design temperature can be tested even prior to accepting an order. That means further validation for different criteria (This type of research & its acceptance from welding, metallurgy & corrosion as well as life cycle of equipment can expand the horizen
& value addition to international community.

Hope explanation shall be open for new discussion. 

Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,

I have a WPS(Impact tested) which is supported by 03 different PQR's. One of PQR is impact tested at -46° C, other at -29°C and third one is not tested for impact. I am not sure what could be the reason for combining these PQR's other than impact requirements.

Can someone give me general guidelines what are the usual reasons for use combination of PQR's in single WPS.

Regards,
Ankur Pandey.

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...
