Re: [MW:35588] Clarification on WPS Applicability for SS316L to Duplex Welding per ASME Section IX

Dear ranijith,

My question regarding the applicability of WPS only.

Dear sir,

We are facing problem in welding crack for desimilar metal like en19 hub dia 350mm thick 200mm and shaft en19 dia 140mm groove weld 28mm.

Process:- SMAW
Pre heating 200-250 degree.
Observation:- crack

Dear Experts,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to seek your clarification regarding the applicability of an existing WPS.

We have successfully qualified a WPS for welding SS316L to Super Duplex using ER2594 filler metal. Both base materials are classified under P-No. 8 to 10H, and the filler metal falls under F-No. 6.

However, our actual production requirement involves welding SS316L to Duplex Stainless Steel using ER2209, which also falls under F-No. 6, and the base metals remain under P-No. 8 to 10H.

As per ASME Section IX, since the base metal P-Numbers and filler metal F-Numbers remain unchanged, could you please confirm whether the existing WPS is valid for this application as well, or if a new qualification is required?

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.
Regards,
Nambirajan A

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...
