Re: [MW:30002] Tube Fin Welding

Dear Ruban,

Code of construction (like ASME Sec. VIII, I etc.) is tell us to qualified welding procedure as per ASME sec. IX.

So please refer UW-28(c) of ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1.

As I understand, fin is non pressure part & have no-load carrying function and it is performed with automatic welding process so procedure qualifications is not required as per code of construction.

But still you want to check quality of fin to tube weld, you can refer international standards, which ask for pull out test and fusion width measurements test. Also you can refer various standard like GE, Dossan, EIL, IBR etc. for more testing requiment.

During finning, please consider UCS-56 (tables), to waive off PWHT requirement.

QW-263 is for resistance welding processes like spot, seam, projection weld.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Experts,

I have a basic query on welding of finned tubes using high-frequency continuous resistance welding. 

Design Code of the component: ASME Sec VIII, Div. 1. 

Which is the applicable clause for qualification using ASME Sec IX?? Is it Table QW-263 ?? 

Kindly provide your feedback if there is any other criteria's or qualification requirements that are to be met.


Thanks.

Ruban Stanley S

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...
