Re: [MW:25267] Re: Problem in welding tube to tube sheet welding

Dear Chandan,

Consumable used is right for the material specified by you. Off late we have been constructing vessels with superduplex consumables. This comes from our client requirements when the MDMT is lower as it is in your case. Just a question looking at the tube to tube sheet photograph, doesn't you/ client demand for a projection of tubes beyond the tubesheet face. I got this question since I could not see a projection. If you look, it appears that it is on the edge where the tube is supposed to end. Also if the expansion is been done after welding that could be a reason. Cracks might have already been there becoz of expansion but it increased when put in service.

Regards,

Nitin

Dear Chandan,

The problem is after any service shutdown? cause (in 820 picture) it seems you have a Lon.Crack and it cant be a fabrication defect if you have used any NDT method.

Did you run any mockup test for your WPS?

A periodic welder performance test using mockup examination could be very useful.

Best Regards.

Dear Experts,

 

We are facing problem of leakage during service condition in heat exchanger. Leakage are coming in the  tube to tube sheet welding in service condition. Attached are the reference photos

Details are defined below,

Construction code – ASME SEC-VIII Div-1 and Div-2

Material – Tube Sheet - SA 240 UNS 31803

Tube   - SA789 UNS 31803

Filler – ER2209

  Allowable Temperature – Shell –    +180 / -30 C, Pressure- 1 bar /FV

   Allowable Temperature-   Tube- +200 /+10 C, Pressure 10 bar

                               MDMT -0 C

Service Media –            Shell – Methanol + LIBR

Tube – Thermal oil

 

Let us know why such failure occurs and preventive actions

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...
