Re: [MW:36009] Procedure qualification through AWS

By Materials & Welding
I suppose you can support only for welding positions.

Unlike ASME Sec.IX code for process vessels & piping where the Load is uniform and the materials are restricted by code it allows for combination.

But AWS D 1.1, you are subjected to Static, Dynamic & cyclic loading as well and as such there is no statement like ASME Sec.IX like combining WPS/PQR. Moreover you prepare WPS for 1 Pressure vessel and it is easy to control in the shop but whereas AWS D1.1 say for example offshore platforms, you have many varied components like Beam, Plates, girders, tubulars etc.. and it is difficult to control. Only for need based WPS to be used for AWS D1.1.

Dear experts,

For procedure qualification as per ASME SEC IX- "Multiple PQRs may support one WPS",

Likewise can we follow the same practice in AWS also?  Because which is not mentioned directly on the code that we can use multiple PQRs to support one WPS.(And I'm not using prequalified WPS)


Thanks & regards
Prabaharan

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...
