Heavy Loaded Parts of Petrochemical Equipment Destruction Cause Investigation
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The problem of using specialized passivating metals and alloys lies in a rather narrow range of the protecting film performance. With a slight change in operating conditions, the film is destroyed and an avalanche-like process of local corrosion begins at the place of film breakdown. A sequence has been developed for determining parts destruction causes, including a sequential analysis of operating conditions; nature of the part destruction; corrosion products composition; phase inversion in the alloy during overheating or mechanical stress in the part.
