Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) reduces the risk of brittle fracture by eliminating residual stresses and tempering hard, potentially brittle microstructural regions. Current codes have different requirements for exempting PWHT depending on chemistry, inherent Charpy test property requirements, or through inspection codes allowing allowable defect size restrictions (Table 1). Limiting Thickness Current Codes require PWHT for …

Post-weld heat treatment, or PWHT for short, reduces and redistributes the residual stresses introduced by welding, while also providing for tempering, precipitation, and ageing processes to take place in certain materials. These changes in the material’s chemical makeup help reduce residual stress and enhance its strength, ultimately relieving tension during welding processes and materials that …

Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) reduces stresses, improves ductility and helps prevent cracking of carbon steel vessels thicker than 38 mm as well as alloys susceptible to cracking, as specified by ASME Section VIII. Furthermore, this process may also be utilized on aircraft fuselage components, turbine blades and landing gear components. Local PWHT can be used …

Hardness tests after PWHT are essential for understanding the quality of welds. A drop weight tester measures impact toughness to assess its impact resistance and weld metal impact resistance. Postweld heat treatment (PWHT) increases the hardness of EB weld metal (WM) by precipitation of Ti-C,O,N precipitates in its as-welded state [1], but impact toughness at …
