In this research, the post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of duplex stainless steel (DSS) was study. The PWHT process can be affected by differing parameters. The specimen was duplex stainless steel UNS31803 grade sheet of 10 mm thickness. The PWHT parameters were analyzed by application of full factorial design. The factors used in this study were PWHT temperature of 650, 750, and 850๐C with PWA time of 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours. The welded specimens were tested with micro vickers hardness and ferrite content testing according to ASTM E3-11 code. The result showed that both of PWHT temperature and PWHT time interaction on hardness and ferrite content for 95% confidential (P value < 0.05). The factor in most effect of hardness was the PWHT temperature of 850๐C and PWHT time for 4 hour at the hardness of 277.73 HV. The ferrite was the most ferrite content for 77.39% resulted in corrosion resistance due to suitable of PWHT temperature 750๐C and PWHT time for 8 hour. Finally, form PWHT process with the information was used choosing the appropriate for PWHT parameters to duplex stainless steel welds. |
