Investigation of the Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility of T24 Boiler Tubing in the Context of Stress Corrosion Cracking of its Welds
Dec 2018
Publication
For the membrane and spiral walls of the new USC boilers the advanced T24 material was developed. In 2010 however extensive T24 tube weld cracking during the commissioning phase of several newly built boilers was observed. As the dominant root cause Hydrogen Induced - Stress Corrosion Cracking was reported. An investigation into the interaction of the T24 material with hydrogen was launched in order to compare its hydrogen embrittlement su Read More
