PWHT

Study on microstructure characterization of fracture frontier of post welds heat treatment and type IV cracking of P92 steel welded joint

In the research work presented in this study microstructure evolution at fracture frontier of crept P92 weld, creep rupture life and effect of creep exposure time on microstructure evolution in fine-grained heat affected zone were performed. Microstructure evolution and creep rupture behavior of metal arc welded joint of P92 steel plate in the as-welded have been studied. The different states of post weld heat treatment (PWHT). (i). post welded heat treatment at 760 C for the 2h (ii).
