[MW:6689] Re: What is the Filler metal to weld Base metal (SA516 Gr 60) to achieve weld metal tensile properties after Normalization+ Stress Relieving

After reading the post again, I may not have understood the heat
treatment. Can you confirm which one?

(1) receive the head in the formed and normalized condition (910C),
weld the head on the vessel, then stress relieve the welded vessel at
610C

or

(2) receive the head in the formed condition, weld the head on the
vessel, then normalize at 910C and stress relieve the entire vessel
at 610C

It was confusing to me.

Thanks,
