Beyond the Holding Time: The Hollomon–Jaffe Parameter in Tempering, PWHT and Cumulative Thermal Exposure – part 2
In the previous part, I wrote about the practical background of the Hollomon-Jaffe parameter and highlighted the importance of understanding the effect of any heat treatment on the mechanical properties. In real life, a pressure vessel could undergo multiple heat treatments. Each cycle adds to the cumulative metallurgical exposure. A material may...
