Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is a process which enhances the mechanical properties of materials that have been welded, such as cracking and failure of structures welded by welding. PWHT may help decrease cracking and failure while increasing strength. For optimizing PWHT parameters, this research combined machine learning and metaheuristics. Machine Learning models were employed as …

Post-weld heat treatment, or PWHT, is an integral component of the welding process, serving to alleviate residual stresses caused by welding while tempering hard or potentially brittle microstructural regions. PWHT can be completed in furnaces powered by electricity, natural gas or oil; however, in this article we’ll focus on what temperature must be reached to …

Stainless steels are widely utilized in industrial equipment due to their corrosion resistance and weldability, yet can only be used in high temperature operating environments if post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is undertaken to prevent embrittlement of sigma phase embrittlement and subsequent cracking. PWHTs are often conducted in an atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen …

Carbon and carbon-manganese steels and low alloy steels meeting hardness requirements standards generally do not need PWHT treatment, although differences between codes for pressure vessels and piping (as detailed in Table 1) often complicate rationalisation processes. This article’s purpose is to describe and outline PWHT requirements and exemptions applicable to carbon and low alloy materials. …

Many piping codes use fracture toughness of weldments as the basis for waiving postweld heat treatment (PWHT) requirements locally; however, this method may not always apply across materials or applications. PWHT requirements for power piping material generally rely on the lower critical transformation temperature of its base metal. Welding Procedures Weldability for welded joints depends …
