    Post weld heat treatment is a thermal treatment done after welding to adjust the mechanical properties of the weld to match the base material. It involves heating the welded material to lower temperatures to prevent phase changes in the material. The treatment relieves residual stresses and softens the hard weldment. Proper temperature selection is important for the steel's weld outcome, as wrong parameters could cause phase changes, harder material, or loss of weld strength.

    Post Weld Heat Treatment is a type of thermal treatment which is employed to material
    primarily after welding.
    This technique is a common practice, which is exercised in industries to adjust the
    mechanical properties of weldment. The required welded material is allowed to heat,
    usually at lower temperature in order to prevent any phase change.
    ****************************************
    The intended use of post weld heat treatment is; to relieve unwanted level of residual
    stresses to soften the hard weldment.
    Great care is required in selection of temperature required for weld-able steels because
    due to wrong adjustment of parameters, the weld outcome may suffer one of the
    following problems;Phase Change likely to occur Material gets more harder, Depletion of
    weld strength may happen .
    ****************************************
    Below is the description of primary advantages that make post weld thermal treatment an
    exceptional process in welding industries
    1. Softening
    After welding, the material (particularly HAZ) gets harder and excess hardness is nearly
    useless for a particular service application. For this PWHT is the best tool, primarily used
    by many industries, in order to temper the hard heat affected zone. This implies strong
    protection and provides adequate resistance against brittle fracture failure during service.
    ****************************************
    2. Stress Relieving
    Residual stresses during welding may occur due to high thermal gradient. During thermal
    cycle of welding process, expansion cause to happen in some areas due to heat while in
    cooling, also the localized contraction may occur, this whole produces undesirable
    residual stresses. In order to reduce the level these stresses, thermal treatment is
    applied which involves the baking of material (by uniform heating) at specific temperature
    and then brought back to ambient temperature at particular cooling rate.
    ****************************************
    3. Prevention of SCC
    What is SCC? Stress corrosion cracking is referred to as SCC which occurs due to the
    intensification of present cracks in the material due to applied stress or load. PWHT
    facilitates the prevention of stress corrosion cracking.
    ****************************************
    4. Ease in machining
    Well it is stated earlier that post weld thermal treatment tends to reduce the degree of
    hardness, due to which the welded components can easily be machined to required
    dimensional conditions. Softening of welded parts allow easy grinding, machining and
    other surface treatments.
    ****************************************
    5. Prevention of brittle fracture
    The primary role of post weld heat treatment is to improve the mechanical characteristics
    of weldment and make it outlast for particular service conditions. Again what is
    demonstrated in above paragraphs; PWHT helps to reduce the residual stress level and
    hardness, imparting the required level of ductility in the weldment. This improves the
    strength and resistance to brittle fracture and increase the lifespan of material for its
    service conditions.
