Welding Preheat Interpass: carbon_steel
Minimum preheat and maximum interpass temperatures for welding per AWS D1.1, ASME BPVC, ASME B31.3, and EN 1011. Covers carbon steels (AWS categories A/B), HSLA (category C, HPS 70W/100W), quenched and tempered (category D), Cr-Mo alloys (P5/P11/P22/P91/P4/P5B), austenitic stainless (P8), duplex stainless (P10H), nickel alloys, aluminum, titanium, and copper. Each record includes base metal group, thickness range, carbon equivalent, preheat/interpass temperatures in both F and C, PWHT requirements, hydrogen control level, and welding process notes. 46 records.
