[MW:12469] MW:12461- mixed feed convection coils

By Materials & Welding
Hi Krarandish,
 
Looks like you  did not have chances to see my  earlier email. However I am writing to you with interest since we come across this issue frequently in high temperature boiler headers.
 
Some of the probable causes towards this failure have been marked in the attachment.
 
Feel free to read and share further information , if you wish so.
 
Thanks.

Can, you email the following   (with confidentiality)
  • design spec, design code, drawings
  • welding details, consumables
  • weld joint details
  • operating conditions, any overheating
 
Thanks.

Dear experts,
In attached images you will find the failure happened on the junctions of header to heater tubes of a natural gas + steam heater. The heater specification is as follows:
Inside fluid: natural gas + steam
Outside fluid : flue gas from burning of natural gas in the reformer of an Ammonia plant.
Tube and header material : SA-312 TP 3047H
Considering the above let me have your suggestion regarding the failure reasoning.
 
Regards,
Karandish

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...
