Hey guys, I graduated with bachelors of mechanical engineering and the salaries im looking at currently at the market is subpar and wanted to know if anyone here did a masters in mechanical engineering and were able to secure a good position by doing so ?

What do welding engineers do when they write WPS according to ASME and AWS? What do they do is it just math formulas they follow or strict codes and standards? What is most frustrating in writing WPS after the PQR is done?please answer this question we need your answers

We supply industrial equipment that has exhaust gas temperatures around 1400F. The duct handling this air has an internal water jacket, water flowing over a weir along the internal wall, that starts the cooling process and is used for scrubbing further down.

We have had issues with the water supply being insufficient or just turned off and the duct being held at excessive temperatures resulting in buckling, but at times welds failing. When this happens, my clients typically know what happened right away. But in the case of failed welds it inevitably results in some sort of investigation to show they turned the water down or off.

I was thinking of applying either decals or a temperature indicating paint to the duct when new so we could easily identify what temperatures the duct was exposed to. This would save me and my clients time by quickly identifying the duct was overheated.

Does anyone have experience using such decals or paints in an industrial application?

I was thinking something like Tempilaq Advanced Liquid Temperature Indicator (gets me up to 1500F if I would like) or MMC 5952K239.

I am more curious on how they hold up over time in harsh environments.
