Dear Antony,
What do you mean from HAZ calculation? are you trying to calculate the width of HAZ?
There is no such direct calculation or ready made formula available to calculate the width of HAZ, generally the width of HAZ depends on several factors.
- Welding Process used,
- Welding parameters / Heat input used,
- Preheat / Interpass temperatures,
- Material and Thickness used, etc.,
Hope this helps,
Regards,

If you wanted to calculate the exact width, then weld a coupon and send it your lab for macro examination, after you etch the polished specimen you'll be able to clearly see the width of the HAZ.

Hi,
You can theoretically calculate the HAZ, but may not be accurate. There are thick plate & thin plate equations. First you should findout whether to us thin plate or thick plate equation then accordingly use the applicable formula. You can find these formulas in AWS welding handbook, I dont know the volume no. I could recall only thin plate equation
1/Tp-To = 4.13pcty/ Hnet + 1/Tm-To; where, Tp is peak temperature, To is initial plate temp (room temp or preheat temp), pc-heat capacity, Tm is melting temp;

Question: How to calculate heat affected zone in weld?
Answer: Heat affected zone is measured regarding the microstructure changes in the weld. For example in steels, this is the area around the weld zone, which has undergone a transformation. In other words, this is the area, which had been austenitized. For calculating the HAZ after welding, for steels, it is better to macroetech the section of the weld HAZ can be easily recognized by the contrast it makes with the base metal and the weld metal.
Please check AWS Handbook Chapter Heat Flow in WeldingThere is a Formula for it and by specifying the Peak Temperature as Ac1 temperature, you can determine the width of HAZ

Dear sir,
I didn't know about code reference, but can say that HAz for thin plate is the about fraction of inch. But for thick plate, HAZ will be maximum 10mm.
As said earlier, HAZ depends on several factor like plate thk, process, heat input etc.
Consider haz max. 25mm
Experts, Correct it , if I am wrong.

Dear sir,
HAZ calculation may done as explained by experts.
But my query will be normally to avoid the crossing of two weld of HAZ, what will be the consideration of HAZ width.
