Re: [MW:27915] UT area of concern items

Dear Ali,

Rep a-1) & a-2) I suggest you, go through ASME BPVC Sec. V, nonmandatory appendix B of article 4.

 

b) Whould you please introduce the reference? Generally the probe angle is not the most important factor affecting the mode conversion.

 

c) The first thing which will help the interpreter is imagination of the sound interaction with the workpiece. In addition the information about the base material and its capability to mode conversion, the probable defects, the geometrical parameters and …



Regards

Dear All.

a)Would you clear and explain these two paragraphs:

1.Measurements of beam spread for scan indexing limits shall be taken only when required by a referencing code section. Beam spread angles shall be measured once for a search unit wedge combination in the calculated far field at the beginning of each period of extended use, or every 3 months, whichever is less.(what is scan indexing limits and when is it used and how can be specified and based on which standard?)

2.Alternative methods of distance-amplitude of correction of sensitivity may be used provided the results are as reliable as those obtained by the acceptable method. In addition, the alternative method and its equipment shall meet all the performance requirements of this standard.(which alternative method of sensitivity calibration and in which standard are explained except as AWS D1.1)

b)and why mode conversion is more important and higher probable to happen for Probe 60 degree especially for corner square speciemen?
c) when the mode conversion in practical cases you have experienced mode conversion and get false indications and how find?

Regards.

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...
