Re: [MW:34188] REG. Hardness max 200 BHN for P NO.1 PQR

Dear,

As advised by Viswas and Raghuram, some snapshots of NACE SP0472 to understand about PQR Hardness & Production Hardness.

SP-0472 is only applicable For Refinery and only for understanding. Inline image

Thanks & Regards

70S2 could be better , you may refer to SP0472 for guidance on fillermetal chemistry and preheat.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your reply.

To weld SA 516 70 , 17 T , can we restrict CE to 0.35 % ?

May I know the carbon value for obtaining the low hardness for plate and GTAW , ER70S-6 OR ER70S-2.

Shall I preheat to min 100 deg C and maintain until final pass for 17T ?

Whether ER70S-2 can give Lower hardness for about 5 mm weld deposited from root ?

Please advice.

Dear Sirs,

One of our client in Korea requires PQR for SA 516-70 , P NO. 1 without PWHT condition , to fabricate shell of 17T U stamp, as per design code ASME SEC VIII DIV- 1 ,
with max 200 BHN in weld and HAZ as per their spec.

So we made a PQR with GTAW ER70S-6 & SMAW E7016 classes for welding SA 516-70 , 17T,

GTAW - 5mm weld deposited from root and rest of the passes with SMAW for 12 mm.

You can find the attached pictures for welding parameters and the PQR test results.

Hardness exceeded the 200 BHN limits.

So, can I change to ER70S-2 , the low manganese GTAW ROD and SMAW E7016 with 3.2 dia to obtain max 200 BHN , without PWHT.

Please advice me urgently, after checking the attached weld parameters, preheat, interpass temp. etc. To successfully get the hardness of max 200 BHN .

Thank you.

With best regards,
Saravanan Sornam,
S. KOREA

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...
