[MW:35624] Can we avoid PWHT for P No.5A to P No.1 , 10mm weld joint ?

By Materials & Welding

Dear Sirs ,

 

We have a project with both shell and Reinforcement Pad materials SA516-70, 10 mm Thk ( P No.1 ) and the Nozzle is SA335-P22, 4" Sch 120 , 

11.1 mm ( P No.5A ) Thk.

 We already have a qualified WPS & PQR with 8mm GTAW and tested about 10 years ago by other welding engineer, for P No,.5A to P No.1 without PWHT and it was satisfactorily passed and we 

have used that WPS & PQR for the previous project 10 years ago and no 

issues found without PWHT.

 Now for the new project, we are going to use the same WPS and apply 

Preheat ( 204 to 250 Deg C ) as per the WPS for 10mm Shell Thk by 

multipass welding, refer to the below sketches.





So, i would like to confirm whether PWHT is mandatory as per UCS-56-4 ?

Can we avoid PWHT for this 10mm weld joint ?


Or Should we do buttering with ERNiCr-3 on P No.5A bevel and butt weld 

with same filler for this dissimilar joint to avoid PWHT after making new 

PQR with buttering?


Please confirm soon.


Thanks and Regards,

Saravanan Sornam,

ANSAN-Si,

S.Korea

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
