Temper embrittlement causes a loss of

Toughness at low temperatures

Temper embittered occurs because of

Long term operation between 650 and 1100°

The primary metallurgy that is affected by temper embrittlement is

2 1/4 chrome

The metallurgical change that occurs during temper embrittlement can be confirmed by

Impact testing

The effects of temper embrittlement can be reversed by

Heating to 1150°f and rapidly cooling

A brittle fracture is caused by

Stress cycles

Which material is least affected by brittle fracture

300 SS

2 things that increase the likelihood of brittle fracture

Large grain size, thicker materials

What test is used to determine a materials toughness

Charpy impact test

Most brittle failures appear as

Cleavage

Thermal fatigue is caused by

Cyclic stresses that come from temperature variations

Thermal fatigue becomes of concern if temperature swings exceed

+-200°f

Thermal fatigue cracks usually initiate

On the surface of the component

Mechanical fatigue is caused by

Cyclic stresses occurring over a long period of time

Fatigue will not occur in carbon steel if stresses are below the

Endurance limit

What material does not have an endurance limit

Stainless steel

The endurance limit is usually about

40-50% of a materials ultimate tensile strength

CUI is an inspection concern for insulated vessel that operate at 500°F

Is in intermittent service

CUI on carbon steel or low alloy materials appears as

Localized pitting or localized wall loss

CUI on 300 SS appears as

Cracking , (localized) pitting or wall loss

This damage is closely related to cooling water corrosion

Fouling

And cooling water systems corrosion rates can increase if fluid velocity are

Either too high or too low

Scaling potential increases and fresh water systems above

> 140°f

Scaling potential increases in brackish or salt water systems above

> 225°f

In cooling water systems corrosion rates can increase if velocity decrease below

3 fps

Corrosion from oxygen in boiler feed water usually creates

Isolated pitting

Carbon dioxide corrosion usually creates

Smooth grooving

Sulfidation of iron based alloys usually begin at around

500°f

Resistance to sulfidation increases as the

Chromium content in materials increases

Sulfidation is primarily caused by

Sulfur compounds decomposing at higher temperatures

Sulfidation usually creates

Uniform corrosion

Chloride stress corrosion cracking can cause cracks that normally initiate

On the surface of 300 SS

This can contribute to chloride stress corrosion cracking

Dissolved oxygen

Fluoride stress corrosion cracking usually occurs at a pH

Above 2

Two factors that contribute to corrosion fatigue

Cyclic loading and corrosion

Corrosion fatigue often initiates at

The bottom of a pit
