    How To Reduce The Heat Affected Zone

    Reducing the heat affected zone can be done through heat treatment after welding or cutting, but this can be costly and time-consuming. Cutting or grinding can also be used to reduce the impact of the heat affected zone, though more heat should be avoided. Machining is the most effective way to fully remove the heat affected zone but can reduce material yield and increase costs. Ultimately, selecting the proper welding or cutting process for the material can best minimize the heat affected zone.

    How to Reduce the Heat Affected Zone

    Reducing the presence or effect of the heat affected zone can help alleviate the related problems of HAZ
    cracks, corrosion, embrittlement, and so forth. This can be achieved by heat treatment following the welding
    or cutting operation. The heat treatment applied will depend upon the required properties and the intended
    changes required – it may be a precipitation hardening treatment, or a softening treatment, depending on
    the material. However, this process can be costly and time-consuming and may not offer a complete
    solution. Heat treating is also limited by the comparative size of the part and the torch or furnace used.
    Cutting can also be used an alternative to heat treatment to reduce the impact of the HAZ. This can be
    achieved through either grinding or cutting, although care needs to be taken not to introduce more heat to
    the part.
    Machining is the most effective way to remove the entire HAZ, but this can reduce the material yield as well
    as increasing labour and machine time.
    Finally, heat tint from oxidation can be ground away or removed with fine sandpaper. This will expose the
    underlying layer and activate self-passivation of the chromium – although this can also weaken the part.
    Ideally, the heat affected zone should be minimised through the selection of the correct welding or cutting
    process for the material. TWI can help with this type of selection as well as being able to advise on the best
    materials for your job.
