Proper selection and application of weld technologies for the repair of high-temperature components in piping or equipment is critical to maintaining the high availability and reliability demanded of any processing plants.

For better decision – making, industry personnel responsible for weld repairs of high temperature components should come up to speed on,

1. Typical features of welds
2. Damage that may affect welds in service and the consequent need for repair
3. The excavation design and geometry of full and partial weld repair
4. Welding processes
5. Welding and post-weld heat treatment(PWHT)requirements of the construction codes
6. Performance assessment of weld repairs
7. Principles of microstructural control within weldments.
