[MW:23249] RE: 23234] Material Specification for Product Methanol

By Materials & Welding
Hi Arinabh,
 
All IS 2062 grades are classified as P1 Gr1 materials. For code stand  point  IS 2062 could be a replacement for SA 516/ Gr60 steel( also P1 Gr1 material). However it would be advisable to verify the the additional information for IS 2062 Gr B, such as the :
  • manufacturing information and capabilities of the mill
  • carbon equivalent and the base metal hardness and corresponding hardness of the weld and HAZ
 API  Bulletin 939E, 2013, has some word of caution for methanol service:-

The published literature and service experience with methanol is much more extensive and has shown for some time shows that methanol is a known SCC agent for steel. Water content, various impurities, temperature, and metallurgical condition of the steel determine methanol SCC susceptibility. You may know very well that residual stress/ excessive hardness  could trigger SCC.

Thanks.

Subject: [MW:23234] Material Specification for Product Methanol

Dear Experts
A Product Methanol tank of 3350 m3 capacity of Internal Floating roof tank with Nitrogen Purging has been envisaged in our project. Material of Construction for the Tank has been envisaged as SA516 Gr.60. Can we replace the same with IS 2062Gr.B Material

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...
