Re: [MW:28660] Deformation during PWHT - P92

The allowable stress at this temperature is much lower that in the operating temperature. You were in the creep range and most propably the pipe was not well supported. So permanent plastic deformation occured. 

The hardness was good because the pwht were most propably correct.

The deformation in that case had nothing to do with the micro structure

After the PWHT it was observed that along the side of the weld a deformation appeared as a collapsed pipe (see figure). After the PWHT were performed hardness test (ICU) and PAUT. All tests were accepted.

The main hypothesis about the causes of the occurrence is related to the thermal expansion constraint (due to heavy equipment and fixation devices).

PWHT Parameters:

Temp. 760 ° C

Time: 2h

Thickness: 15.1mm

Material: A335 Gr.P92

Position: vertical (tube)

Has anyone seen this? What can happen to the mechanical properties of this material? Some bibliographical references that follow. indicate to follow for an opinion?
