- Description
- Welding procedures regularly require a Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) after the completion of a weld. This PWHT process is principally to mitigate unwanted effects of the welding process which may negatively influence the functional performance of the welded structure. Amongst the unwanted effects that may arise due to welding is the development of unintended metallurgical and mechanical properties. This includes the creation of an un-tempered martensitic structure due to the rapid cooling of the weld region from temperatures above the material’s critical temperature. This typically results in weld regions with high tensile strength and high hardness, but also characterised by low ductility and reduced toughness. In order to improve ductility and toughness a PWHT cycle is often completed on the welded structure.
