Damage analysis of dissimilar metal welds of power equipment

Original language description

Heterogeneous dissimilar welds (DMW) are always problematic and critical areas of pressure vessels and piping. A critical structural area is created by combining two materials with different chemical composition and with completely different mechanical and physical properties, especially different thermal expansion. This critical detail very often undergoes intensive degradation during operation and very often, the operational degradation of the junction of the two materials with different properties ends with the loss of integrity of the pressure boundary. There are three main factors leading to failures - higher operation temperature than design parameters, inappropriate design of a heterogeneous welded joint to areas with higher stress levels and poor erection quality, where defects are already in the welded joint from assembly. The cause of the failures is also other factors that are not known at the design stage of the pressure units or are not sufficiently evaluated. Susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of one of the used DMW materials during long time operation is one such unknown factor in the design stage. Stress corrosion cracking is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals subjected to a tensile stress. The stresses can resulted from the crevice loads due to stress concentration, or can be caused by the type of assembly or residual stresses from fabrication.
