Re: [MW:32224] SM490A weld to railway

Dear Pravin,

Query- 
Need your advice, using high tensile electrode can lead to brittleness?
Response - 
These High Tensile electrodes are with Low alloys addition and have moderate ductility of @20 %-  reasonable ductility during Welding 
Need  to follow  critical Welding parameters  , the welding will be sound .
 
Query-
The problem im facing now is, client keep on insisting to use E7016 instead of high tensile electrode.
  Response - The rail material is High Carbon  so hard HAZ requires strength when  butt  Joint is welded.  So either E110XX, E120XX is chosen
For Fillet welds , E7016 would have been suffice 

Hope the things will  be all clear

Hi Vishwas,

 

I agree with you on the electrode selection.

Having hard time to convince the client.

 

Anyways appreciate your input.

Railway material is  with High Carbon  so will have  high strength  with  High HAZ hardness .

 

The electrode deployed - E7016 has less strength .

 

Use E11018   with pre heating   and 3.15  dia with stringer bead technique.

After full welding , maintain pre ehat maintenance  say 350  Deg C - 2 HRS  and then cool under insulation 

 

This shall

Dear Sir,

 

Enclosed material properties of railway material, while SM490A is ordinary mild steel with low carbon content <0.3%

Along I have enclosed picture of the crack.

 

1st picture was without preheat, while 2nd picture was with preheat 230degC & postheating 250degC x1hr.

However, crack still occurs. I'm bit lost at this point.

Pl. send MTCs of both the materials

Dear Expert,

 

We are doing a weld joint with following base metal combination: 

SM490 weld to railway (alloyed, high tensile material) 

 

I used E7016 for this welding, after 4 hours, crack was observed on the weld toe,

however there is no crack on the weldment, thus I assume this is cold crack. 

 

Crack was noticed on the railway material, not on SM490A material. 

 

Welding condition:

Baking was done 300-350degC x 1hr 

thickness: 16mm both material 

Preheat: 200degC 

Post heating: 250degC x 1hr

 

Can anyone advise how to solve this crack defects

 

Best regards,

Pravin Poornachandran

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...
