Is it necessary to weld the saddle before heat treatment of the equipment?
Thread Content
When the equipment is subjected to heat treatment, are the legs or saddles welded on? Or just weld the gusset plates and then weld after heat treatment?
When the equipment is undergoing heat treatment, its legs or saddles should generally be welded on to facilitate transportation and placement. However, it is also possible to weld only the pad, and then weld the legs or saddles after heat treatment.
Thank you. Should we consider whether the saddle and other supports might deform during heat treatment?
Agree with the second-floor opinion; stress relief heat treatment will not cause deformation.
Am I overthinking it? There’s still deformation from welding.
It depends on the needs; the requirement is simply to weld a gasket in place. There is no objection to welding everything together, as long as there is enough space for the heat treatment furnace.
It can be welded on； It’s also possible to avoid welding ； Based on the size requirements of the heat treatment furnace ； But the saddle pad must be welded on before heat treatment ； Equipment that has undergone heat treatment must not be welded on directly ；
