This is a simple stress relieving process the welder can do to minimize warpage of material that was just welded.

Difference between post heating and pwht?

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.


Is post weld heat treatment is part of Non-destructive testing?

Post weld heat treat is done to bring back strength properties lost during welding. It is not related to non destructive testing


What is the disadvantage of without preheating in welding?

Preheating can assist the welding penetration on materials with high thermal conductivity such as thick aluminum sections or even some steels. This reduces the heat sink affect (rapid cooling) of the deposited weld by the surrounding cold metal. Preheating also significantly reduces the rapid cooldown of the item post welding. Contrary to many beliefs, it is difficult if not impossible to overheat metals but many metals (such as carbon steels) can become brittle if cooled rapidly. They can also lock in post weld stresses that can compromise the engineering qualities expected. Preheating builds up heat in the metal and it takes longer for it to cool. In affect, preheating is also a portion of the postheating formula. In most welding code applications, carbon steels and some other metals require preheating prior to welding to be in compliance.


Reverse polarity in welding?

Immediate and catastrophic destruction of transistors and/or diodes. While that does not ALWAYS occur, it's certainly possible. Start with the alternator. No doubt those diodes have been destroyed if a battery has been connected with reverse polarity.


How you can weld of forged carbon steel bar of 40C8 grade to MS 2062 grad material?

Welding a forged carbon steel bar of 40C8 grade to MS 2062 grade material requires careful selection of the welding process and filler material to ensure compatibility. Common methods like MIG or TIG welding can be used, but it's important to use a filler material that matches the properties of both grades to prevent issues like cracking. Preheating the 40C8 bar may help reduce thermal stress during welding. Post-weld heat treatment might also be necessary to relieve stresses and improve the integrity of the joint.

Is post heating required for carbon steel material above 19.05mm thickness?

Post heating is generally recommended for carbon steel material above 19.05mm thickness to reduce the risk of cracking during welding and to promote better mechanical properties. The specific post-heating requirements may vary based on the material and welding process being used. It is best to consult the specific welding procedure specifications to determine the exact post-heating requirements for the application.

How many seconds of gas post-flow for 130a?

The post-flow time for gas after welding at 130 amps typically ranges from 5 to 15 seconds, depending on the specific welding process and material being used. This duration allows for proper cooling of the weld and helps prevent oxidation or contamination. For precise settings, it's best to consult the welding equipment's manual or guidelines specific to the application.

Is welding bad for your eyes after having lasik eye surgery?

Yes, welding can be harmful to your eyes after LASIK eye surgery. The intense ultraviolet (UV) light and bright sparks produced during welding can cause damage to the cornea and potentially lead to complications, especially in the initial recovery period after LASIK. It's crucial to wear appropriate protective eyewear, such as a welding helmet with UV protection, to safeguard your eyes. Always consult with your eye care professional before engaging in activities like welding post-surgery.


What is mean by preheat temperature in welding?

Some materials have to be heated before you start to weld on them. They will probably have a maximum interpass temperature, and may also need to be kept heated to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time after you stop welding (called post heat).
