Brinell Testing of Pressure Vessel Welds
Brinell Testing of Pressure Vessel Welds
(OP)
Hi All,
After weld repairing a pressure vessel in caustic service here, Brinell hardness readings were taken in the weldmetal, HAZs, and base metal on the inside of the vessel. I have not observed the size of the indentions but regardless, I suspect it may be best to grind these out due residual stress and caustic environment. Any thoughts here?
Thanks,
Bob
