Re: [MW:31028] PQR shall be tested in Min & Max PWHT (3 Cycle minimum simulation) condition.

Dear Vijay,

The above query is related to me also, can you please explain in detail.

And I have qualified PQR, please refer to I have included the two different PQR range.

Material Both PQR ASTM A106 Gr B

Thickness Range - 5 mm to 25 mm

First PQR Range -

POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT( QW-407)

TEMPERATURE RANGE	630 ±10° C
SOAKING PERIOD	190Min
HEATING RATE	190°C/Hours Max
COOLING RATE	190°C/Hours Max

Second PQR Range -

TEMPERATURE RANGE TP1 - 638 ±10° C TP2 - 635 ±10° C

SOAKING PERIOD: TP1 - 72 min TP2 - 189 min

HEATING RATE: TP1 -170°C/Hours and TP2-171°C

COOLING RATE: TP1- 163°C/Hours and TP2-106°C/h

But it is not clear to me how to confirm if mechanical properties are ok after just one PWHT ( for sure Tensile St. and Y. S. will be ok, since values are greater, but hardness test?

Please explain to me about the mechanical test and 3 cycles PWHT. Where I require test coupons for first PQR.

Thanks and Regards

Kiran

Hi Kunal,

3 simulation cycle is required with considering future service repair.

You need to prove that after considering 3 simulation PWHT cycle the minimum tensile requirement can be achievable . But you need to check the base metal also,

Is the base metal tested/qualified with 3 simulation cycle?

Thank you

Vijay Katkar

Dear Sir's

Client has specified the requirement for testing the PQR in Min & Max PWHT (3 Cycle simulation) condition. As we had pre-qualified PQR with one cycle of 2 Hours soaking. So please suggest how to comply with the requirement & what does this "3 cycle simulation" exactly means?

Regards
Kunal Srivastava

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...
