RE: 4130 stress relief
What is the weld metal?
what is the part for?
How large is the part?
Was the original part heat treated?

Usually PWHT forces itself (code, or no code requirement) when your required to qualify a welding procedure. If that is the case you need to determine the hardness requirements, ie sour service requirement and calculate expected hardness based on welding method, heat input, preheat, thickness and carbon equivalent. Having determined that PWHT is indeed neccesary for 4130, the soak temperature should be set at 25 deg C below the original tempering temperature for quenched and tempered steel or if its not a QT steel, 125 deg C below A1. Soaking time should be 2min/mm and heating rate should be max 200 degC/h, cooling rate should be max 100 degC/h.
In my experience with inco 625 cladding of 4130 forgings for subsea installations PWHT has always been neccesary. Engineering almost always modified the material spec and forging to a higher strength makes it more difficult to meet the PQR requirements

Thank you the attention,
