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 |
