Objective Of the Session

1.Familiarisation with Alloy Steels Components used


in Power Plant
2.Precautions during Alloy Steel Welding
ALLOY STEELS
Steels that derive their properties primarily from the presence
of some alloying element other than C & the commonly
accepted amounts of Mn, Cu, Si, S & P are called ALLOYS or
ALLOY STEELS.

The principal alloying elements are nickel, chromium,


manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, silicon and cobalt.

Low Alloy steels: Alloy content less than 5%

High Alloy steels: Alloy content more than 5%


REASONS FOR CHOOSING
ALLOYING ELEMENTS
• Increased Hardenability.
• Reduced danger of warpage
• Improved strength at high & low
temperature
• Resistance to grains growth at elevated
temperature
• Improved corrosion and heat resistance
REASONS FOR CHOOSING
ALLOYING ELEMENTS
• Improved magnetic properties
• Improved fatigue resistance
• Improved machine-ability
• Improved Creep properties at high temp.
• Full value of Alloy steels can be gained
through heat treated conditions
HARDENABILITY
• The depth up to which a material is
hardened after putting through a heat
treatment process is known as
Hardenability.
• It is easier to harden alloy steels than plain
carbon steel
• Because of this ease of hardening and
greater uniformity in any heat-treatment
operation, alloy steels are often selected
for a job in presence to the plain carbon
steel.

Welding of Creep resistant steels


Why Preheat?

Preheat reduces the temperature differential between the


weld region and the base metal
– Reduces the cooling rate, which reduces the
chance of forming martensite in steels
– Reduces distortion and shrinkage stress
– Reduces the danger of weld cracking
– Allows hydrogen to escape
Welding of creep resistant steels
Measuring of preheat temperature acc. to EN ISO 13916

t≤50mm: A ≤ 4 x t (max. 50mm)


t>50mm: A ≥ 75mm

The preheat temperature is the temperature in the area of the weld


before the start of welding.
Why Post-Weld Heat Treat?

• The fast cooling rates associated with welding often


produce martensite
• During postweld heat treatment, martensite is
tempered (transforms to ferrite and carbides)
– Reduces hardness
– Reduces strength
– Increases ductility
– Increases toughness
• Residual stress is also reduced by the post weld heat
treatment
l
Postweld Heat Treatment and Hydrogen
Cracking
• Postweld heat treatment (~ 1200°F) tempers any
martensite that may have formed

– Increase in ductility and toughness


– Reduction in strength and hardness

• Residual stress is decreased by postweld heat


treatment
• Rule of thumb: Hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch
of plate thickness; minimum hold of 30 minutes
Welding of creep resistant steels
Measuring of Interpass temperature acc. to EN ISO 13916

Measuring of the ITP

The Interpass temperature is the temperature for multilayer welding


on the surface of the weld right before starting the next layer.
