AWS Heat Treatment Sheet

PREHEAT:AWS D1.1, Table 3.2 Prequalified Minimum Preheat and Interpass Temperature °F (°C)

Thickness 3 to 20 mm (1/8 to 3/4 in.) incl.: 32°F (0°C)

Over 20 thru 38 mm (3/4 to 1-1/2 in.) incl.: 50°F (10°C)

Over 38 thru 65 mm (1-1/2 to 2-1/2 in.) incl.: 150°F (65°C)

Over 65 mm (2-1/2 in): 225°F (110°C)

For SMAW process, above preheat data is with low hydrogen electrodes.

When the base metal temperature is below 32°F (0°C), preheated to a minimum of 70°F (20°C)

Preheat and interpass temperature shall be sufficient to prevent cold cracking.

Guideline on Alternative Methods for Determining Preheat/Interpass: See Annex XI of AWS D1.1

POSTWELD HEAT TREATMENT:

PWHT requirements shall be based on Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)

AWS D1.1, 5.8 Stress-Relief Heat Treatment: Where required by the contract

drawings or specifications, welded assemblies shall be stress relieved by heat treating.

(See AWS D1.1, 5.8.1, Requirements for stress-relief treatment;

Table 5.2, Minimum Holding Time; Table 5.3, Alternate Stress-Relief Heat Treatment)
