Hi Ramdas,
 
The only difference in SA 266 Gr. 2 & SA 266 Gr. 4 is, content of Manganese is approximately double (0.8~1.35) in SA 266 Gr. 4 than SA 266 Gr. 2 (0.4~1.05). These materials are widely used for body flanges, tubesheets, backing devices of heat exchangers and vessels.
 
Hence the element that makes difference is manganese. Manganese has various advantages as below;
 
It increases tensile strength, toughness and hardenability. Manganese also tends to increase the rate of carbon penetration during carburizing and acts as a mild deoxidizing agent. Manganese is capable to form Manganese Sulphide (MnS) with sulphur, which is beneficial to machining. At the same time, it counters the brittleness from sulphur and is beneficial to the surface finish of carbon steel.
 
The disadvantage is when you use SA 266 Gr. 4, carbon equivalent will be above 0.42 which is not allowed as per most specifications and specially for HIC or Wet H2S/sour service most client prefers to maintain Ceq. below 0.40.
 
Apart from above, from the design point of view it does not make any difference because ASME has considered same allowable stress values for both the grades.
 
Hence as per me it is always good to consider SA 266 Gr. 2.
 
Please correct me if i miss some points.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
