Holding Time for Heat Treatment of Steel
Holding Time for Heat Treatment of Steel
(OP)
Hi, If steel is subjected to heat treatment(hot forming, stress relieving after welding and stress relieving after additional welds) for one hour three times during the fabrication stage, should the test piece subjected to a total holding time of 3 hours to simulate the expected heat treatment or just one hour to simulate for the three heat treatment?

If it is not possible to specify this kind of testing procedure isolated test sample would qualify only the steel material, hence a 1 hour soaking would be sufficient.
