The Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) were submitted to the NCPWB Technical Committee, and welding procedures were developed for inclusion in the NCPWB WPS Library. This makes implementation of these advanced GMAW processes easier by providing all mechanical contractor members with welding procedures for performing certified welding of piping to ASME Codes. An overview of the NCPWB WPS Library and the benefits that it provides to mechanical contractors will be provided.</div> <div class="ewa-rteLine"></div> <p></br></p> <div class="ewa-rteLine">The technology behind the HyperFill and Hyperfill-STT advanced GMAW processes will be explained with focus on improving operator ease-of-use at high deposition rates. The equipment required to implement HyperFill and HyperFill-STT will be presented highlighting the minimal changes that are necessary and low cost.

Unlike beams, pipes feature an open root that requires real-time control of the penetration depth. Additionally, the imperfections inherent in pipes mean that preparations are always a compromise, rendering each weld to be slightly unique. Achieving perfection in such conditions relies on the ability to dynamically adjust to these inherent irregularities. Real-time control over the weld pool is essential to achieve this. Trying to approach this problem by finding a way to make perfect and repeatable preparations has been unsuccessful. Instead, the solution lies in using a welding robot equipped with adaptive welding control. See the solution McCarl’s used to automate their pipe spool welding.</p> </div><ul class="program-day-event-speakers"><li><div class="program-day-event-speaker"><div><div><img decoding="async" src="https://mcaaevents.org/ncpwb-conference/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2024/12/Stamati-Georgaris-sq.png" /></div><div><div>Stamati Georgaris</div><div class="subtitle">VP Rotoweld</div><div class="subtitle">Tecnar</div></div><div><a href="https://mcaaevents.org/ncpwb-conference/speaker/stamati-georgaris/"><span class="elementor-button-text">See Bio</span></a></div></div></div></li><li><div class="program-day-event-speaker"><div><div><img decoding="async" src="https://mcaaevents.org/ncpwb-conference/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2024/12/Jon-Bushmire-sq.png" /></div><div><div>Jon Bushmire</div><div class="subtitle">Operations Manager</div><div class="subtitle">McCarl’s</div></div><div><a href="https://mcaaevents.org/ncpwb-conference/speaker/jon-bushmire/"><span class="elementor-button-text">See Bio</span></a></div></div></div></li></ul></div></div><div class="program-day-event " ref="event-10702"><a href="#" class="program-day-event-link" ref="details-10702-5"><span class="plus"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span><span class="minus"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span></a><h5>10:30 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.</h5><h4>Technical Presentation #7: Welding of Duplex Stainless Steels</h4><h5></h5></div><div class="program-day-event-details" id="details-10702-5"><div class="program-day-event-details-wrapper"><div class="program-day-event-details-content"><div class="ewa-rteLine">Duplex Stainless Steels are a family of stainless steels that contain a dual microstructure of ferrite and austenite which give them unique properties. These materials are currently in widespread use throughout industry in numerous applications. Due to their many benefits these steels are rapidly growing in popularity. However, duplex stainless steels must be welded correctly in order to maintain the intended properties in service.</div> <p> </p> <div class="ewa-rteLine">The initial benefits of using this material were mainly corrosion resistance. However, due to price reductions in recent years, their use has greatly increased in various other applications as well. Duplex stainless steels have been replacing some other grades of stainless steels due to its higher yield and tensile strength and relatively good weldability. This material has fabrication and construction challenges that must be addressed in order for the material to perform well in service. Duplex stainless steels are sensitive to heat input variations during fabrication and welding which can alter the cooling rate thus affecting the ferrite/austenite balance which can negatively affect the corrosion resistance and other properties.</div> <p> </p> <div class="ewa-rteLine">Applications in various industries will be discussed as well as the challenges associated with welding and fabrication. Concentration will be placed on “How to successfully weld duplex stainless steels for maximum productivity and quality”. Case studies will also be presented and discussed.</div> <p> </p> <div class="ewa-rteLine">This presentation will include a discussion of:</div> <ul> <li class="ewa-rteLine">Lessons learned over the last 20 years</li> <li class="ewa-rteLine">Special fabrication considerations specific to various welding processes</li> <li class="ewa-rteLine">Pertinent welding conditions that must be observed during fabrication</li> <li class="ewa-rteLine">Recommended quality control practices for any fabricator or contractor involved in the welding of duplex stainless steels.</li> <li class="ewa-rteLine">Inspection methods and repair techniques</li> </ul> <p> </p> <div class="ewa-rteLine">Given the advantages of using Duplex Stainless Steels the usage of this material is expected to rise.
