Abstract
ABSTRACT A test manifold of grade P93 is welded under shop fabrication conditions. Raw materials include pipe and forgings. Welding processes used are GTAW and SMAW. Weld joints involve heavy wall butt welds and branch joints. Welded joints are subjected to different heat treatment cycles to assess the effect on the materials’ properties. Welding experiences and mechanical test results in relation to PWHT and ageing are discussed. Tensile test results comply with the requirements. Achieving impact toughness requirements appears to be challenging, however improvements are expected through further optimisation of heat treatment and welding procedures.
期刊介绍:
Materials at High Temperatures welcomes contributions relating to high temperature applications in the energy generation, aerospace, chemical and process industries. The effects of high temperatures and extreme environments on the corrosion and oxidation, fatigue, creep, strength and wear of metallic alloys, ceramics, intermetallics, and refractory and composite materials relative to these industries are covered.
Papers on the modelling of behaviour and life prediction are also welcome, provided these are validated by experimental data and explicitly linked to actual or potential applications. Contributions addressing the needs of designers and engineers (e.g. standards and codes of practice) relative to the areas of interest of this journal also fall within the scope. The term ''high temperatures'' refers to the subsequent temperatures of application and not, for example, to those of processing itself.
Materials at High Temperatures publishes regular thematic issues on topics of current interest. Proposals for issues are welcomed; please contact one of the Editors with details.
