Advantages of using field heat treating

 Weld preheats
Technician sets up a low voltage heater for a vessel-to-pipe preheat
 – Reduces the levels of thermal stress
 – Compensates for high heat losses
 – Minimizes the rate of weld hardening
 – Reduces the porosity of the weld
 – Reduces hydrogen cracking
 – Improves microstructure of heat affected zone
 Post weld heat treating
 – Relaxes residual stresses
 – Relaxes thermal stresses
 – Tempers (softens)
 – Removes diffusible hydrogen
 Refractory dry outs
 – Improves refractory strength
 – Eliminates refractory separation
 – Removes mechanical water
 – Minimizes explosive spalling
 – Avoids thermal stress
