Proper Planning When planning PWHT of any pressure vessel the unequivocal number one concern should be vessel integrity during the heat cycle as this is where any damage is going to happen. The cost of having a bad PWHT and causing damage to the material, internals, externals, or the vessel integrity itself could have irreversible […]
Heat Treatment Applications These are the common applications for Heat Treatment Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT), also referred to as stress relieving, is an application of controlled heat applied after the welding is complete. PWHT is the relaxation of residual stress caused during the welding or in other processes such […]
Background Axiom Heat Treatment sought to develop new technology in an industry that has seen very little change over the years. Axiom developed a new and innovative technology to reduce power consumption and treating time cycles for field heat treating services. Axiom began a process of developing and testing a new methodology which included design, […]
