CORRECTIVE ACTION
Out of 888 welds 340 welds are clear in all aspects.
Radiographs of balance welds were examined jointly by site,
NTPC-CQA and BHEL-Tiruchy and all defects like porosity,
root mis-match, incomplete penetration and uneven surface
etc. which are not permissible as per codes were repaired.

PREVENTIVE ACTION
For further projects like BELLARY, SIPAT etc.
Even though procedure had been qualified without backing gas
(purging), to achieve uniform smooth root weld, it was decided to
retain backing gas in future application also.
Welding Technology Centre, Trichy had been requested to
qualify a procedure using RT 21/4 Cr 1Mo filler wire for root
welding in the case of T91 welds and subsequent run by RT
9Cr1Mo filler wire i.e. matching filler wire of T91. Strength portion
also to be acceptable to Engineering.
If existing filler wire of T91 i.e. matching combination (9Cr1Mo) is
to be continued then,
Method of purging to be re-looked
Argon being heavier gas, if the entry is from bottom in a 2G
weld, it will ensure that the atmospheric air is completely
purged out through the root gap before starting welding &
welding can be continued with argon backing.
Argon entry can be at erection welds between RH front and
RH rear coils- i.e. 6 circuits above the roof (in pent house)
and 6 circuits below the roof.
This will ensure argon entry is from bottom in a 2G weld
and purging of air can be better in this case.
Trials can be conducted before starting the actual job.
Even though this is not maintenance friendly, this will definitely
improve the situation.

� More number of welds simulating the actual weld condition are
to be test welded before qualifying the welder.
� 100% RT will be done till the welder performance is established
and consistently right quality welds are achieved.
� Location of weld is to be suitably modified for getting
consistently sound weld.
