[MW:34522] RE: 17-4PH UNS S17400 - Repair Welding procedure and recommendations

By Materials & Welding

ER630 filler is a matching filler to 17-4 PH steel. Welds in this steel are usually age -hardened to get the matching strength as the B.M. Refer ASTM A-564 for guidance on Heat Treatment. The cracked areas should be finely ground to a softer metal. Check the hardness of the area to be repaired & compare the same with the B.M to get the idea.

 

Smaller repairs may be left as welded . Larger build-ups would call for PWHT(age hardening). For valve shaft age hardening may difficult if it's not dismantlable. Check over all hardness after repair, as well as clear PT.

 

Look at the below mentioned reference for some guidance.

 

Thanks.

Dear Seniors,

 

I need your guidance of 17-4PH corroded valve shaft build-up(Overlay) welding procedure. 

 

Base material : 17-4PH shaft 

Welding process : GTAW

Filler wire: ER630

 

I request you to please give us your recommendation and procedure  to repair this 17-4PH shaft.

 

And also please clarify that PWHT is recommended or not .

 

Thanks and regards

Balasubramanian

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
