Re: [MW:30759] Tube to Tube sheet welding, Orbital welding parameters for header box

By Materials & Welding
- check the hardness of BM away from welding and what Is the welding HV values ?
- HAZ prosperities mainly related to the base metal 
- your base metal SA516 in normalised condition .. after welding the mech. priorities gained by heat treatment is lost unless u keeping the transformation temp. and cooling rate as the original treatment condition
- any way .. as much as u can try to increase HI for getting the lowest cooling rate 

best regards

Guys i am developing weld procedures for automated orbital welding and having trouble trouble with achieving required hardness.
SA-516-70N 2"Thk tube sheet / SA-179 1"OD x 6"Lg Tubes different wall thickness. Preheating 400 interpass 600 F

I am having isues with hardness on the heat affected zone. The criteria to meet is 248 Hv10 (vickers). Especially at the Haz zone iam getting 300 vickers.
Anyone have experience in tube to tube sheet welding can offer some suggestions that will be great.

My best results were in 0.095 wall thickness where HAZ readings were close to 250 still failed becauseit was marginally over. 0.065, 0.83 failed with HAZ hardness averaging at 300.

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...

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...
