Water Stainless Steel Pipeline Stree Relief And PWHT

The Importance of Correct Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT).
Post Weld Heat Treatment is a mandatory requirement for the fabrication and construction of pressure vessels. The residual stresses formed during welding can cause metal failures. The macro structure also changes during the welding process and makes the steel weak. PWHT removes these stresses and restores the macro structure of the steel.
Stress Relieving Steel and Annealing | Precision Grinding
Stress Relieving is a heat treating process that consists of heating the steel to a temperature below the critical range to relieve the residual stresses resulting from hot rolling, welding, shearing, or gas cutting. Unlike normalizing or annealing, stress relieving does not change the metal’s chemical / mechanical properties.
What is Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)? | WELDING ANSWERS
PWHT treatment requirements are typically dictated by codes and standards and by any special requirements due to the service conditions of the welded structure. For steel fabrication the use PWHT is driven by the need to resist brittle fracture via post heating and to reduce residual stresses via stress relieving.

APPENDIX I – STRESS ANALYSIS APPENDIX K – CLEANING CARBON AND STAINLESS STEEL PIPE 301.2.2 - Required Pressure Containment or Relief Piping systems are designed to either safely contain or relieve the maximum pressure that can be imposed. Plant fires can present a safety concern for certain piping systems.
Stress Relief of Austenitic Stainless Steels
We are looking into the stress relief of large 4-inch-thick (100 mm) plate made of 316L stainless steel. Can you advise us on the proper stress-relief temperature? Our experience suggests 1100-1150ºF (590-620ºC) might be better than what we find in the literature. Please comment. Answer: Your question on the stress relief of 316L plate is a
Intergranular stress corrosion cracking - SpringerLink
The sensitization behavior of types 308 and 316 stainless steel weld metals as internal overlays for reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) was studied with respect to the effects of postweld heat treatment (PWHT) at about 600 °C during RPV fabrication and low-temperature aging during operation.

Solution annealing of stainless steel - Wbt-Electron BV
Solution annealing of stainless steel at 1,100°C to 1,200°C. The most well-known effect is the formation of chromium carbides with some types of stainless steel. Chromium carbides develop in the critical temperature range of about 500 to 900 degrees. In this range carbons are extracted from the structure matrix.

Post-Weld Heat Treatment – Case Studies
Thermal Stress Relief Residual stresses resulting from welding are reduced by a post weld thermal stress relief heat treatment. The residual stress remaining in a material after stress relief treatment will depend on rate of cooling. The percentage relief of internal stress is independent of steel type, composition or yield strength.

The ABC’s of Arc Welding PWHT Determines the Quality of Weldments. Postweld heat treatment (PWHT) includes any heat treatment after welding. The objectives of PWHT of carbon steel and low-alloy steel weldments are to relieve welding residual stresses, decrease hardness of the heat-affected zone, improve ductility and notch toughness, and release diffusible hydrogen.

PWHT for ss & cs
The carbon steel would generally be the requirement followed since seldom is stress relief used for austenitics. in my opinion you shloud do the buttering with a 309 electrodes then do the PWHT and then complete the welding process. this is the usual approach to a dissimilar welgin and the reason for not using 309 stainless steel filler

SS2205 is a duplex stainless steel with a microstructure, when heat treated properly, of nearly equal proportions of austenite and ferrite. This microstructure ensures that SS2205 is much more resistant to stress corrosion cracking than S304 or SS316L. The higher S chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents give SS2205 significantly improved

Key Concepts in Welding Engineering
Stress relief cracking, where the component fractures during the heating process, can also occur. In contrast, there are some materials that almost always require PWHT. For example, chrome-molybdenum steels usually need stress relieving in the 1,250 to 1,300°F (675 to 700°C) temperature range. Thus, the specific application and steel
Welding-duplex stainless must follow precise instructions
A post weld heat treatment (PWHT) at high solutioning temperature (1050-1100 °C = 1920-2010 °F) should be performed, followed by water quenching. The usual low temperature (600-650 °C = 1100-1200 °F) stress relief treatment as used for carbon steel is harmful and must be avoided.
