Il trattamento termico post-saldatura (PWHT) è un processo termico eseguito su componenti metallici saldati durante la produzione per alleviare le tensioni residue e migliorare le proprietà dei materiali sia del giunto saldato che dei materiali di base, contribuendo a prevenire distorsioni, cricche e diminuzione delle proprietà meccaniche. Viene eseguita per rimuovere le tensioni residue. L'analisi chimica dei campioni saldati e di quelli sottoposti a PWHT non mostra ...

Molti codici e standard di fabbricazione prevedono il trattamento termico post-saldatura (PWHT). Le temperature del PWHT variano a seconda delle specifiche di qualificazione delle procedure di saldatura, come BS 1113, BS 2633 o EN 13445. Il PWHT può ridurre e ridistribuire le tensioni residue e contemporaneamente temprare le regioni microstrutturali dure o potenzialmente fragili. Khanzadeh et al. [15] hanno scoperto che con l'aumento della temperatura PWHT ...

Fabricating metal components may result in the formation of internal stresses that reduce their fatigue life. Remaining tensile stresses can also contribute to distortion during cutting and machining operations as well as stress corrosion cracking in some environments. Post weld heat treatment (pwht), commonly referred to as stress relieving, is a thermally activated process designed …

Current design codes for piping and pressure vessels stipulate that PWHT may be necessary if material thickness exceeds an established threshold, typically determined by measuring Charpy energy. Some carbon and low alloy steels qualify for exemption if an appropriate preheating cycle is utilized. Girth welds in steel pipes have undergone an assessment by Mohr that …

Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is an essential step in the design and repair of pressure equipment, helping reduce and redistribute residual stress within welded material. PWHT can increase both ductility and hardness while improving ductility and hardness; however, PWHT may damage some materials so it is crucial that proper procedures for PWHT be followed. Annealing …
