Re: [MW:31462] PWHT soak temperature variation

Repeat PWHT. wont that be detrimental to the weld and the parent metal?

Your client is right .

As per code understanding heating rate shall be uniform, as you have mentioned and also inferring from graph..heating rate is more than  the defined (i.e 100 deg/hour). 

Hence for accepting this client may ask for microstructure examination, hardness testing or even repeat PWHT.

Dear Experts, 

   We have completed  post weld heat treatment of weld overlay in a large automatic programmer electrical furnace according to API6A and ASME Sec VIII Div.1, as per WPS heating rate shall be 100degree C per hour, so we have set heating rate from 300 to 600 degree C in 3 hours, however since its programme is computer controlled, we are reaching 100 degree C in 45 min instead of 1 hour and 15 min holding at each 100 degree progression, as per our customer heating rate shall have regular slope without any holding. Attached heat treatment chart for your review.

    Please do advice does it have any effect on weldment properties and is any code governs or states heating rate slope shall be steady.
