    The document discusses the inspector's role in ensuring post-weld heat treatment is performed correctly according to specifications. It provides details on common heat treatment types like annealing, normalizing, quench hardening, and tempering. The inspector should verify equipment, procedures, temperature controls, and documentation meet standards. Heat treatment relieves stresses, improves properties, and prevents issues like cracking or brittleness.

    WELDING INSPECTION
    HEAT TREATMENT
    SECTION 18.

    POST WELD HEAT


    TREATMENT
    Many metals must be given heat treatment before and

    after welding.
    The inspectors function is to ensure that the treatment is
    given correctly in accordance with the specification or as
    per the details supplied.
    Below are the types of heat treatment available.
    Annealing
    Normalising
    Quench Hardening
    Temper

    HEAT TREATMENT
    The inspector, in general, should ensure that:

    Equipment is as specified
    Temperature control equipment is in good condition
    Procedures as specified, is being used e.g.
    Method of application
    Rate of heating and rate of cooling
    Maximum temperature attained
    Soak time
    Temperature measurement (and calibration)
    Documentation and records

    HEAT TREATMENT
    The temperatures mentioned are for steels.
    Process:
    Normalising
    Temp:
    9200C
    Cooling:
    Hold, air cool
    Result:
    Relieves internal stress,
    improves mechanical properties, Increases
    toughness

    HEAT TREATMENT
    The temperatures mentioned are for steels.
    Process:
    Stress relief
    Temp:
    550-7000C
    Cooling:
    Hold, furnace or
    controlled
    cooling
    Result:
    Relieves residual stresses,
    improves stability during machining,
    reduces hydrogen levels, prevents stress
    corrosion cracking
