RE: [MW:29758] As per Section IX Thickness range qualification

WPS thickness qualification is determined using Table QW-451.1 – see below

Your base metal thickness, 17.48mm, falls in the third grouping "Over 3/8 (10mm) but less than ¾ (19mm). Per this line, the qualified base metal thickness is 3/16 (5mm) to 2T (twice the test coupon thickness). Further, the maximum qualified weld metal thickness is 2t (twice the deposited weld metal thickness) – this is determined solely from each essential variable grouping, your case per process employed. This latter is typical.

So, for your WPS the ranges of qualification per Table QW451.1 are:

Base metal: 5mm to 34.96mm (inclusive)

GTAW weld deposit: 16mm maximum

SMAW weld deposit: 18.96mm maximum

You can, of course, limit your ranges of qualification to less than the Table QW-451.1 permitted ranges but cannot exceed them without additional qualification. So, yes, you can choose to restrict base metal thickness range to 13.1mm to 26.2mm since it is within the maximum permissible range. Likewise, you can also restrict the maximum deposit thickness to 14mm for GTAW and 18.5mm for SMAW since they are less than the maximums of 16mm and 18.96 respectively.

Note: if impact qualification is required, additional restrictions apply.

Enjoy!

Subject: [MW:29753] As per Section IX Thickness range qualification

Dear Experts,

I have some difficulty to interpret the requirements of ASME section IX

I have a PQR Based on a dual process GTAW+SMAW ( 8 mm+9.48 mm) on an 17.48 mm ( 24" NPS ) butt weld.

If i am use this PQR what would be my thickness range in WPS a) Weld metal thickness range for GTAW + SMAW ? b) And what is the base metal thickness range ?

If i set in WPS base metal thickness 13.1 mm to 26.2 mm is it ok / If no than please let me know way i can't set this range.

And weld metal thickness range for GTAW - 14 mm and SMAW - 18.5 mm .

Please give with details explanation regarding my above difficulty.

Thanks and Regards

Kiran

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

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...
