Re: [MW:34842] crack in main plate with thinness 19 mm

Hello sir,

We are also faced similar issue. Now is it possible to rework the part.

Hi

This same problem we have solved in my previous Project . It's called Hydrogen induced Crack or Delayed Crack. The main reason WPS was not followed (Preheating and post heat ) . Also need to check two times for NDT 24 hours and 48 hours.

Dear All
We have encountered a critical issue with the joints from the beam to the main plate on the Spud Can top plate of our jack-up rig. Upon welding and subsequently lowering the spud can into the water using the jacking system, cracks have emerged in three of the joints that were welded previously ( according to photos cracks happen on the plate) This is a concerning development, and we must address it promptly to ensure the integrity and safety of our spud can.
Considering that in the area where we are, the depth of water is low and there is not much pressure on the spud can, the reason why this happens is not clear to us, and if anyone can advise on this matter, I would be very grateful.

Main top plate thickness is 19 mm and crack depth is 16 mm.

Regards
Babak

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...
