You need to write in the new supplementary PQR format as the hardness testing date is current.
Since the old PQR results (other than hardness values- as per the standard) are the same, it is not necessary 
to enclose the old PQR. But, if your client insists, please act to satisfy him.

You can make a new, "Supplementary PQR" as it is safer and cleaner from a compliance and transparency 

standpoint. You prepare a new PQR document with all the welding parameters repeated from the original PQR,

plus the new hardness test results.

            

You can add a note referencing the original PQR number (i.e., "This PQR was performed under the same welding

conditions as PQR-001 (provide actual details) to incorporate the hardness testing per client requirements").

Dear Experts,

We have a qualified PQR (P1 to P8) that doesn't include hardness testing. We're submitting this PQR for a new project, but the client requires hardness testing. To address this, we plan to:

1. Create a new PQR following the same parameters as the original PQR.
2. Conduct hardness testing and add the results to the new PQR.

We're unsure about the best approach to incorporate the hardness test results into our existing PQR documentation. We have two options:

Option 1- Add the hardness values to the original PQR as Addendum-1.
Option 2- Create a new PQR that includes all the previous data and name it as a Supplementary PQR.

Could you please guide us on the best approach to take?

Best regards
Pankaj Choudhary

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...
