This allows the client to also monitor the process from beginning to end – ensuring quality and goals are met. The techniques, control, and monitoring of the heat and cool-down phases are possible on site. Gulf Coast Combustion has successfully combined its industry expertise, leading engineers, and equipment to create mobilized teams that can assist manufacturers on site. Transportation of such large items can pose a dangerous hazard – one that can be avoided by mobilizing units to apply PWHT on site. The manufacturing, welding, and PWHT need to happen at one site to ensure the safety of the product and the manufacturing site. This can lead to failures, higher cracking potential, and increased susceptibility to brittle fracture.ĭue to the nature of the industry that mostly uses PWHT – the petroleum and chemical processing industry – the designs are usually very large in stature. What happens when design limitations have been exceeded? If PWHT is not performed correctly, or not done at all, residual stresses can exceed a material’s limitations. Can this process be completed on-site? We have the answer! Gulf Coast Combustion and On-Site PWHT Even though welding has enabled many advances in manufacturing, it does unavoidably, cause damage. This forces manufacturers to apply certain treatment techniques quickly after the welding has taken place to ensure the maximum return of durability and strength. The welding process places stress on the steel, often due to high carbon content. Post Weld Heat Treatment refers to the heating treatment applied to an area post welding – this aims to get the steel back to its prefabrication strength.
