Considerations for the successful execution of High-Temperature Local Heat Treatment

With many Petrochemical and Power Generation facilities being pushed past their original designed life span, these facilities have been running into unique repair situations requiring High-Temperature Local Heat Treatment Applications (i.e. Solution Annealing) more frequently. For this talk we will be defining High-Temperature Local Heat Treatment as being in situ applications that exceed 1500 F, which is generally accepted as the upper limit of Post Weld Heat Treatment. This presentation will discuss areas of consideration around Equipment Power Supplies, Consumable Selection, workpiece support, distortion avoidance and expansion.
