[MW:11516] MW:11496: Temper embrittlement

Mr. Thakkar,

I think you're talking about API-934A-Recommended Practice for Materials and Fabrication of 2 1/4Cr-1Mo (P-5A), 2 1/4Cr-1Mo-1/4V(P-5C), 3Cr-1Mo(P-5A) & 3Cr-1Mo -1/4V(P-5C) Steel Heavy Wall Pressure Vessels for High Temperature, High Pressure Hydrogen Service.

The scope of this document: This RP presents materials and fabrication requirements for new 2–1/4Cr and 3Cr steel heavy wall pressure vessels for high temperature, high pressure hydrogen service. It applies to vessels that are designed, fabricated, certified and documented in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII, Division 2, including Appendix 26, Mandatory Rules for Cr-Mo Steels with Additional Requirements for Welding and Heat Treatment and ASME Code Case 2151, as applicable.

This document may also be used as a resource when planning to modify an existing heavy wall pressure vessel.

For high temperature hydrogen service(hydro processing) the above materials are the only industry accepted materials. Unfortunately P-5B materials see below are not proven and haven't been accepted by API. That's why there's no requirements of temper embrittlement test for these steels.

Hope this clarify the doubt.

Thanks.

Thank you for giving reply but P5C also contains more than 0.15% Mo & still need temper embrittlement test but not for P5B!

Dear maulik,

Temper embritllement can be prevented by keeping sulfer an phosferous
at low level and also addition of Mo(<0.15% min) will prevent temper
embritllent.

As far as my interpretaion SecIX all P5B materials have a more than
0.5%Mo. so that not required.

It really intersting subject..if get more info please share with us.

regards,
mohd.

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

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
