Re: [MW:34353] IGC Testing requirement in SS410S.

SS 410S is Ferritic stainless steel with a maximum carbon of 0.08%.

SS is prone to IGC or sensitization if exposed in the range of temperatures 450-650 degC.

1. Check whether the Base material is subjected to tempering in the temperature range prone to IGC.

2. Since carbon is less in 410S the formation of Cr23C6 is restricted and not prone to IGC during welding.

3. The only problem associated with welding is Grain coarsening in HAZ and can be prevented by controlling welding parameters to promote fast cooling and hence it is cooled faster in the IGC range.

4. Since ferritic stainless steel is prone to 475 DegC Embrittlement and hence service temperature may not exceed 350-400 degC

Dear Experts ,

We are using SS410S CLAD in Coke Drum at 450 degree temp.

Is IGC test required for SS410S material ? at present there is no requirement of IGC testing for SS410S in coke drum cladding in industry .

 As per my understanding, IGC happens in ferritic SS as well if they are exposed to high temp(450 in my case) in operation , welding or PWHT. So why SS410S is not tested for IGC as per A763 ?

How IGC is different in ferritic SS than in Austenitic SS ?

Thanks and Regards,

Ronak Patel.
