Preheating in Welding: When and Why Is It Necessary?

Share

Preheating is familiar to anyone who cooks or bakes, and it's rare that a recipe doesn't start with 'preheat your oven to X temperature.' In welding, though? Preheating may seem like a more alien concept. Some welding operators go their whole careers never having needed to preheat a weld, while others preheat everything they handle.

So what is preheating, how does it work, why is it necessary, and when should you use it? Let's answer these questions and more.

Induction Heating Applications for Welding and Industrial Maintenance

Share

Induction heating is a modern approach to supporting the welding process with preheat and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) as well as other industrial tasks such as coating removal and placing or removing shrink-fit components. Although the conventional use of induction heating is limited to magnetic base materials, applications capable of using the process can reap significant operational savings and benefits compared to 'conventional' heating processes such as flame/torch or even resistive heating. Could you be a good candidate for implementing induction heating into your welding or industrial maintenance processes? Shown here are just a few target use cases.

27 Minute Coupling Hub Removal

Share

Rotating Equipment Induction Heat Application

Red-D-Arc's latest customer success story highlights the benefits of using induction heating in rotating equipment applications.
A client contacted Red-D-Arc to inquire about the use of induction heating to remove a coupling hub from a motor shaft. The hub was 12 inches in diameter and roughly 4 inches thick.

The overall work scope was straightforward: the client needed to remove an old motor and replace it with a new motor. The coupling hub had to be reused, so the hub would need to be removed from the old motor and installed on the new one. Two things made this job challenging: the location and the time limit. The work was to take place on an offshore platform. Use of an open flame was not an option, as it would have led to a safety violation.

Unraveling the Mystery of Heat Treatment

Share

This article originally appeared in Connector Magazine, Fall Edition

Erectors can save cost and time by taking this welding technique in-house

Large steel erection projects commonly require heat treatment for welding because of the thick materials used in structural steel construction. Proper implementation is critical; so often this work is outsourced. The perceived level of expertise to perform this work can make the prospect of using in-house personnel daunting. However, most welding contractors are actually fully capable of performing on-site heat treatment operations.

The two primary methods for heat treating metal are preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). Preheating is the process of heating the base metal to a specific temperature prior to welding to minimize the temperature difference between the welding arc and the base metal. This process helps to reduce internal stresses that occur as substantial temperature differences between the weld and the base metal normalize, which can cause cracking and distortion. Slowing the cooling rate also allows hydrogen to escape from the weld, which minimizes the potential for cracking.

Storage Tank Fabricators Build Efficiently with Induction Heating

Share

Applications and Advantages in Tank Fabrication and Maintenance

In the fabrication of storage tanks, as in most other welding applications, there are two crucial processes that storage tank fabricators must carry out to ensure the final quality and durability of the tanks. They are weld preheating and post-weld heat treatment.

Pre-Heating

Preheating involves heating the material to be welded to a particular temperature before welding. This process reduces shrinkage by minimizing the temperature between the arc and the base material. It also removes moisture, lowers hydrogen, and slows the weld cooling rate. These reduce the risk of cracking, brittle welds, and failure of the welds. Preheating is crucial for storage tanks as they are to withstand high pressures during operation.

Post-Processing Welded Parts

Share

In welding, like in many other manufacturing and fabrication processes, the process is not complete until the necessary post-processing has been carried out. Post-weld operations are usually performed for reasons such as improving mechanical properties, relieving stress, and improving aesthetics. The two most common Post-weld operations are Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) and Finishing.

Post-Weld Heat Treatment

During welding, the welded materials are exposed to very high temperatures that can cause micro-structural changes in them. Also, residual stresses build up in welded materials when they are allowed to cool naturally.  If left unaddressed, these stresses and structural changes can severely compromise the mechanical properties of a material and can lead to failure during use. To prevent this, PWHT is required for welded parts. There are two major types of Post-weld heat treatment and they are as follows.

Supporting Maintenance at the Grand Coulee Dam

Share

Originally built in the s, the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State has been undergoing a series of maintenance projects to ensure that it will continue to produce safe and reliable power into the future. One stage of the project required the heating of a 40-ft wide, 7-ft tall outer headcover of the turbine shaft to specific core temperature.  In order to achieve this temperature, the engineers applied induction heating to one side of the workpiece.

Only when the opposite side of the workpiece reached target temperature could the maintenance engineers be certain that the required core temperature had been achieved.  The team from Red-D-Arc provided induction heating systems and assistance with training and set up during this essential part of the maintenance process.

Construction Firm Beats Competition With Fast Induction Heating

Share

19 Hours Faster Than the Competition

Texas ' One of our customers was trying to heat 42' diameter pipe using pear burners so that welders could weld out the joints. Our team saw an opportunity to create a solution that would help our customer get the job done much more quickly. To make this in-the-field heating job go faster, we put together a package including a Miller ProHeat 35 induction heating system, a 60kVA generator and a DP25 power distribution panel.

Red-D-Arc provided a reliable RDA Induction heating solution to a pipeline construction and maintenance company in Houston who needed to maintain consistent temperatures for their welders to weld out joints from pipes. Our induction heating specialist supplied our customer with a portable induction heating package consisting of a 60 KVA generator, a Miller Pro-Heat 35 induction heating system, and a DP25 power distribution panel. As a cost-effective alternative to their existing propane burners, induction heaters allowed them a secure heating, consistent temperature control, increased weld time, and improved safety.

With this setup we were able to get the pipe up to 250 degrees in about 5 minutes. Our customer was able to beat the competition's target time by over 19 hours and has been asked to quote on other pipeline work for their client. Needless to say they were pleased with the solution and the opportunity for extra work it created.

Induction Heating vs Other Methods

Share

Pre-weld and post-weld heat treating is critical for many welding operations. Without proper thermal manipulation, welds and heat affected zones can have mechanical properties that are undesirable. Worse yet, inadequate heat treatment can result in cracks and devastating weld failures. While temperature and time are the primary concerns when heat treating a weld, the heating method should also be considered diligently when selecting a process. Induction heating is one of the most popular types of heat treating methods, and rightfully so. The benefits of induction heating are many, and Red-D-Arc has the equipment you need to successfully implement an induction heat treating operation for your projects.
