Re: [MW:35750] QW-424.2, clarification

By Materials & Welding

Use the PQR if:

The PQR includes Inconel 625 overlay testing (chemical composition, corrosion resistance) on P1.

The job's weld is primarily between Inconel 625 overlays.

All essential variables (welding process, thickness, etc.) are within the PQR's qualified range.

You confirm compliance with the project's code and client requirements.

 

Do not use the PQR if:

The job involves significant base metal welding (P1-to-P1) beyond the overlay, as QW-424.2 may not apply.

The PQR lacks overlay-specific tests or data for Inconel 625.

The project requires a P1-to-P1 PQR.

 

Final Guidance

Draft the WPS: Base it on the PQR, ensuring compliance with QW-424.2 and job requirements.

Consider a New PQR: If the PQR doesn't meet all conditions or project requirements, qualify a new PQR for 

P1 + Inconel 625 to P1 + Inconel 625 to ensure compliance.

QW-424.2

For welds joining base metals to weld metal buildup or corrosion-resistant weld metal overlay, the buildup or overlay portion of the joint may be substituted

in the test coupon by any P-Number base material that nominally matches the chemical analysis of the buildup or overlay.

With respect to the above clause, Can we approve the following condition.

PQR : P1+ inconel 625 WOL(PWHT) TO P43

Job : P1+Inconel 625 to P1+Inconel 625

Can we use this PQR to weld the Job preparing a WPS accordingly.

Can any one suggest please.

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...
