Re: [MW:28452] Can I use WPS/PQR P NO-1, Group NO-1 (PLATE) to P NO-1, Group NO-2 (PLATE) for welding of ASTM A333 Gr.6 (P No: 1, Group No: 1) to ASTM A350 Gr.LF2 CL.1 (P No: 1, Group No: 2) ?

By Materials & Welding
Dear All, 

For welding of ASTM A333 Gr.6 and related (Flanges and fittings) 

Please note the following:

1. You have to qualify the PQR with P1G1 to P1G2 only.
This will qualify all the combinations of group numbers.  (The ASME interpretation is attached for your reference.)

2. You can do the PQR on plate with P1G1 to P2G2

3. Position should be 3G. (In piping 5G or 6G can be followed) Refer QW-405.2

4. Minimum thickness limits are as per QW-403.6
(Suggestion: PQR 1 : 6mm plate to plate, GTAW; PQR 2: 6mm Plate to Plate: GTAW+SMAW or SMAW only; PQR 3: 10mm Plate to Plate GTAW+SMAW) these 3 PQR will give a range from 3mm to 16mm of base  material thickness.)

5. For Maximum thickness limits,if your construction code is ASME B 31.3, you have to limit your maximum qualified thickness as per Table 323.3.1

Dear Experts,

1. WPS/PQR (P NO: 1, Group No-1 to P NO: 1, Group No-1 ) is available with contractor

2. Pipe material: ASTM A333 Gr.6 (P No: 1, Group No: 1)

     Flange/Fitting material: ASTM A350 Gr.LF2 CL.1 (P No: 1, Group No: 2)

     WPS/PQR ( P NO: 1, Group No-1 to P NO: 1, Group No-2 ) is not available with contractor 

3.  Charpy "V" notch test to be done

My query is 
 
Can I use WPS/PQR P NO-1, Group  NO-1 (PLATE) to P NO-1, Group NO-2 (PLATE)   for welding of  ASTM A333 Gr.6 (P No: 1, Group No: 1) to ASTM A350 Gr.LF2 CL.1 (P No: 1, Group No: 2) ?

Please give suggestions, Is it possible in accordance with ASME Section-IX  ?

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...
