Observations and Evidence
Root Cause Analysis and Determination of Failure Cause
⇒ FAILING EVERY 6-12 MONTHS
✔ Full cracks VT and superficial cracks (PT-NDE)
✔ Internal part of the pipe in crack location ⇒ inadequate filling
✔ Sreroscopy ⇒ oxide deposits ⇒ CAPING PASS
✔ Fractography ⇒oxide fragments on internal and external surfaces
✔ Chemical composition ⇒acording to materials specifications requirements
✔ Tempered martensite structure in P91, HAZ
✔ Dendritic austenitic structure in INCONEL and Buttering
✔ Tempered martensitic structure with ferrite in crack location area
✔ Presence of nucleation of voids and spheroidal graphite
✔ Identification of high hardness points in HAZ areas of P91 and INCONEL, coincident with the location of cracks
✔ Warm-up 200ºC
✔ Welding GTAW
✔ Welding 5g Weld / 2G buttering
✔ PWHT in buttering ⇒ no PWHT in welding
✔ Support Systems and stress Calculation with no anomalies detected
✔ Insulation temperatures are higher in leakages area
✔ Optimal PWHT treatment on weld area is defined
⇒ Decreasing residual stresses, decreasing material hardness, improving toughness
✔ Spacial care with reached temperatures (do not exceed 760ºC)
⇒ Fragilization issues
✔ Verification of residual stresses by means of FEA, and physical tests
