Re: [MW:34521] I request for your expert advice

Is it an option to only use a spot GTAW weld for fixture of the thread
Or seal it with Loctite
To prevent shrinkage during welding, very low heat input process like laser welding can be an option

Onderwerp: [MW:34520] I request for your expert advice

Dear Experts,
I am writing this for you to give me some advice/suggestions.

We are facing a severe issue in welding the Body-end connector joint in our small-size (0.75" 800#) 2-piece Ball Valves Lever Operated SW ends (MOC 316 with PTFE seat ring). Since our client wants us to seal weld the Body-End connector joint, after assembly and final testing prior to despatch.

We find that after welding, in TIG, the valve becomes very difficult to operate.
I request the experts in this group to suggest a suitable method to weld the joint.

Best Regards.
M.Balasubramanian

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...
