Thank you for your response!!

W.r.t point no 2 above :- Carbon Percentage in SA240 SS 304 is 0.07 , in SA240 SS410S is 0.08 .. We do IGC testing for SS304 after welding so why not for SS410S ? it too has almost same carbon .

w.r.t point no 4 above :- Operating temp for one of our coke drum was 460-500 degree but even in that case licensor did not mention IGC requirement for SS410S Clad + LAS Base material.

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.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
