[MW:34890] Thickness range in WPS for Fillet

By Materials & Welding
Dear team,

can anyone clarify my issue.

During the preparation of WPS & PQR of SA 516 GR 70 to SA 516 GR 70 - 10mm Plate Groove weld, my AI (Authorised Inspector) was insisted me to put the Thickness range for fillet weld as 38mm maximum in both WPS & PQR. 

I am unable to understand this. Because as per ASME Section IX Table QW451.4 - All groove weld tests can qualify "All fillet sizes on all base metal thicknesses and all diameters" So according to my understanding it should be unlimited but why my AI insisting me to put as 38 mm max..

Pls Clarify.

Regards,
Shivasankar A

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...
