[MW:35212] Re: CAN A WELDER QUALIFIED TO ASME IX ALLOWED TO WELD STRUCTURES USING AWS D1.1 PREQUALIFIED WPS

By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr. Aneesh,

According to AWS D1.1 2020 - Part 5.1  Welders, welding operators and tack welders that use prequalified WPSs shall be qualified in conformance with Clause 6, Part C or Clause 10, Part D for tubulars.

For Aramco 12-SAMSS-007 section 7.5  Welding procedures and individual welders shall be qualified in accordance with the requirements of AWS D1.1/D1.1M, AWS D1.3, AWS D1.8/D1.8M or AWS D14.1/ D14.1M as appropriate.

If the structural items construction code is AWS D1.1 - Both WPS and Welder Qualification should be as per AWS D1.1 only.

Dear Experts

Please advise if a welder qualified in 6G position to ASME Sec IX , is allowed to Weld structures using WPS which is prequalified to AWS D.1.1

Or is it mandatory to perform separate welder qualification using AWS D.1.1 WPS to weld structures 

This is for Saudi Aramco Project

KINDLY ADVICE.

Thanks 


Aneesh

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...
