Re: [MW:35991] P5A to P8

Good Engineering Practice is to be followed eventhough Code allows because metal flow is very important. Mock up test is to be done before engaging in the work.

Qw-423 Allows alternative material for WQT.

You can alter the base material mentioned in the WPS , alternative base material shall be chosen as per the table mentioned in QW-423.

As per ASME Section IX, welder qualification for a dissimilar weld (P5A → P8) performed using F-No. 43 filler cannot be done on 

P5A → P5A materials alone. The test coupon must include at least one P8 base metal to represent the metallurgical condition of 

the production weld. Therefore WQT must be performed on a CS + SS test coupon. CS + CS coupon with F43 is not acceptable under

ASME IX.

I have scenario in site, we have to qualify welders for cs to ss,but we dont have ss material available ,can we do with cs alone using f43 filler wire. wps- p5a to p8- f.no-43
Wqt - p5a to p5a- f.no-43

Thanks&regards

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...
