Hello all,
I'm looking for some guidance regarding a welding qualification: I am looking to qualify EN 10025-6:2019 S690QL. The customer specification lists some quite demanding mechanical testing, though the one I'm worried about is the NACE hardness acceptance requirements, plus the...
Hi all,
I'm looking for guidance to whether a Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) can be repaired?
I've had a look through AWS D1.1 and ASME IX, and I can't see anywhere this is strictly prohibited.
We have had a welder fail RT on a full penetration BW, due to a single enlarged gas pore...
Hi all,
I'm looking at making up a mock plater / sheet metal work test piece for some of our students, as it's not something they really do as welders.
Does anyone have any designs they can share? Square-to-rounds / duct work / pattern development etc. would be appreciated.
Looking to...
Hi all,
As the title suggests I'm looking into welding 42CrMo4V forgings (approx. 930 MPa SMYS) for an offshore actuator. I've seen to repeatedly referred to as equivalent to AISI 4140 yet the SMYS seem wildly different!
I'm struggling to find any information on this material, particularly...
Hello all,
I've reposted this from the materials and metallurgy forum as it's an ASME query.
This is for CRO (Corrosion Resistant Overlay) i.e. cladding of 8630 80KSI components.
Basically, I'm reviewing a welding procedure for a client, which they have welded two separate test pieces. It's...
Hello all,
This is for CRO (Corrosion Resistant Overlay) i.e. cladding of 8630 80KSI components.
Basically, I'm reviewing a welding procedure for a client, which they have welded two separate test pieces. It's the same material grade (8630, which I believe is unassigned under ASME) but one...
Hello all,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any useful resources or literature on PWHT they would be able to share?
It's not for anything specific, rather to educate myself and some of the other Engineers I work with.
I've got a pretty good understanding of PWHT and why it's undertaken but...
Hi there,
I’m looking for help with some shear strength calcs for bolted joints as this isn’t my field of expertise;
I have x 6 M16 BSEN ISO 3506 Class 70 Bolts, each with a shear capacity (Psb) of 48,700N
By my working out, the Shear area (As) per bolt should be 2.0106 x 10 ^-4 m^2
And by...
Hi Everyone!
First time I've posted here, but I'm struggling to find any information regarding the supercooling (also known as superchilling)of metals and castings, particularly the effect on the materials grain structure and how it affects it mechanical properties. I've tried looking looking...
