    – Reduces temperature difference between
    base metal and weld
    – Helps maintain molten weld pool
    – Helps drive off absorbed gases

    47 Q What is post weld heat treatment(PWHT)


    A • Primarily for stress relief
    – Only reason considered in B31.3
    • Averts or relieves detrimental effects
    – Residual stresses
    + Shrinkage during cool down
    + Bending or forming processes
    – High temperature
    – Severe thermal gradients

    • Other reasons for PWHT to be specified


    by user
    – Process considerations
    – Restore corrosion resistance of normal
    grades of stainless steel
    – Prevent caustic embrittlement of carbon steel
    – Reduce weld hardness

    48 Q What is Brazing
    A Brazing. Brazing and soldering are techniques
    for joining metals in the solid state by
    means of fusible filler metal with a melting point
    well below that of the base metal
    49 Q What is brinell hardness test
    A Brinell hardness (test). A standard method of
    measuring the hardness of certain metals. The
    smooth surface of the metal is subjected to
    indentation by a hardened steel ball under
    pressure or load. The diameter of the resultant
    indentation, in the metal surface, is measured by
    a special microscope, and the Brinell hardness
    value read from a chart or calculated formula.
