post heating : after completion of weld is not cool below to preheat or room temp. further it is heat by applying addition heating system to certain period of time and temperature to evalute hydrogen from weld metal.
PWHT is a form of stress relief, other forms can be as simple as smacking your structural weld with a hammer. PWHT re-aligns metallic molicules (face centered) to similar configurations as before rapid heating and cooling occured.
Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is typically required for ASTM A216 WCB (cast carbon steel) materials when they are welded, particularly for thicker sections or when they are used in high-stress applications. PWHT helps relieve residual stresses and improve the toughness of the weld and heat-affected zone. However, the necessity for PWHT can also depend on specific design codes, service conditions, and the thickness of the components being welded. It's important to consult relevant industry standards and specifications for guidance on specific applications.
There is caustic stress corrosion cracking when carbon steel is exposed to concentrated caustic solution. Caustic SCC is driven by tensile stress, susceptible material and concentration of caustic. So, lack of PWHT will increase susceptibility also hardness and residual stress that is the more significant factor in caustic corrosion. Thanks and Regards Abdul Khaleem Abdul Razak

P-11 is a piping material usually used in refinery and petrochemicals industries for services at or around 550 to 600 degree C temp. It is low alloy steel. It contains 1.25 cr and 0.5moly.It resitant to hydrogen attack. It need PWHT(post weld heat treatment). PWHT to be in the range of 680 to 780 degree C. P-22 is a piping material usually used in refinery and petrochemicals industries for services at or around 550 to 625 degree C temp. It is low alloy steel. It contains 2.25 cr and 1.moly.It resitant to hydrogen attack. It need PWHT(post weld heat treatment). PWHT to be in the range of 680 to 780 degree C.
pipe weld heat treat
Also I need the answer for this question. Nobody? anybody?
No.You should not do that because the welding heat leads to over tempering of P91 which reduces the toughness and ductility...

Buttering: the addition of material, by welding, on one or both faces of a joint, prior to the preparation of the joint for final welding, for the purpose of providing a suitable transition weld deposit for the subsequent completion of the joint. Simply it is weld build up of (one or both) base metal(s) before beginning to weld the joint itself. This can be done in order to make up for poor joint preparation as indicated previously, but also is done to minimize the effect of PWHT on a sensitive material or eliminate subsequent PWHT.
