I want to know the temperature profile of post weld heat treatment for alloy steel like P5, P9. We have some procedures that was used from a long time. I want to know the source or reference of the temperature range. Please suggest the maximum temperature, holding time, temperature raising rate, cooling rate.

The maximum holding temperature, holding time and rate of heating/cooling for PWHT of alloy steels suchas 5Cr and 9Cr steels is available in ASME Sec VIII Div 1 as well as in ASME B31.3. These codes specify limits on all above parameters.
