[MW:30190] Weld Proximity Analysis support required

By Materials & Welding

Dear Experts,

For one of our project, we have done welding for various sizes ( 2", 3" , 4" , 6", 10" 14".16" with Min 5.5 T to Max 12.7 T ) of A106 Gr.B to A105N Flanges with Circ. Seams of 68 units, out of that only 10 units were done PWHT as per client requirements,  

as per the attached photo and also 2 number of CS 1/2" Nipples with an A105N Adaptor of 36 mm Dia welded on the pipe, 

but one of the adaptor weld touches the right end Circ. Seam, referring to the photo .

During design, we over looked it and all the design and drawings approved by owner, the design is as per ASME B31.3 2016 ED. the WPSs were approved, so fabrication was done and Hydrotest also done.

Now, before delivery, the Owner has sent their welding spec , which they have not sent EVER before and the spec mentions that min 50 mm gap to be maintained.

So, we recommended with a TQ for a Simulation Test to prove that the hardness on weld and HAZ not to exceed 248 HV 10 as per their spec.

But the owner needs Weld Ligament Analysis to be done for a detailed Engineering Analysis to prove the weld design is OK to proceed.

We do not have enough experience to perform  Weld Ligament Analysis in Korea.

Could you please suggest website Or a link with similar scenario for a Residual Stress check, acceptance range of welds, X-Ray Diffraction machine possibilities etc.

Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan Sornam,
Korea

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...
