[MW:34401] NO6625 TUBE AND NO6625 TUBES - PWHT OF TTJ WELDING

By Materials & Welding
Dear Experts 

Equipment fabrication - Heat Exchanger fabrication - as per ASME SEC VIII DIV 1 - Tube sheet -SB 564 N06625 -66mm thk x 666 mm OD 
Heat exchanger Tubes - SB-444 N06625- 2.108mm X 19.05mmOD 
Welding -Tube to Tube sheet welding 
Joint configuration - Groove and fillet - (2mm X 45 Deg V with 2 mm fillet). Welding Process - GTAW 
Filler Metal - ERNiCrMo3 
PWHT is required for Tube to tube sheet welds  due to Process reasons.
Query - WPS is to be qualified with PWHT - 
1.What would be PWHT Holding temperature and holding time for the above Tube to tube sheet welds? Advice on recommended Heating and cooling rate for PWHT . 
2. What are the cares that needs to be taken to avoid scaling ? 
3. What would be the advice for sequence for Tube expansion ? (Tube Expansion shall be before PWHT OR after PWHT ) .Technical Expert Answer with details -

Any specific care that to be taken while doing PWHT ( to avoid distortion, to avoid scaling  etc )

Thanks 

Vishwas -IWE

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
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...
