Optimization of PWHT of Simulated HAZ Subzones in P91 Steel with Respect to Hardness and Impact Toughness

Appropriate post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is usually obligatory when creep resistant steels are welded for thermal power plant components that operate at elevated temperatures for 30-40 years. The influence of different PWHTs on the microstructure, hardness, and impact toughness of simulated heat...
