Dear All,
 
We too had a similar problem and we did some excercise to know the actual cause.
Please find the Attachment which detail the Activity.
 
Dear Goswami Sir, All our Fabrication activity was near to Sea. Can you please provide more light on this subject. Its a very useful tip.
 
Regards
VPV- Doha

Hello Ali,
 
The issue does not look to be due to wrong use of mechanical tool alone. Wrong mechanical tool will cause pick of  localized iron/ impurities and would cause pitting, discoloration.
 
Can you send a few pictures, showing corrosion as welded/before pickling, corrosion after pickling.
 
Is the fabrication location close to sea, what's the relative humidity or salinity in the fabrication areas??
 
Thanks.

Hi!

 

You are correct about the wrong use of mechanical tools made of carbon steel as possible cause.

 

Stainless steel 316L is supposed to have already very low carbon content and will lessen the occurrence of chromium depletion during welding which causes the formation of chromium carbide precipitation.

 

You possibly need to check the chemical analysis of the 316L before and after welding at the point of localized corrosion to determine the cause.

Subject: [MW:10276] corrosion stainless steel

 

Dear All

In fabrication of stainless steel piping  ( material made by 316L and filler metal is 316L) in HAZ& cap of weld joint the severe locallized corrosion occured.

I guest that the cuase of it is wrong use of mechanical tools made by Carbon Steel, but locallized corrosion occured again in cap of weld& close HAZ after pickling.

now how can i find what is the cause of  corrosion. or is it intergranular corrosion with considering limitations& availibity  that existed in fabrication site?

Regards

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
