PIPING MATERIAL

MODULAR FABRICATION YARD PIPING MODULE PART II

INTRODUCTION
Piping Materials can be classified as
   

Metals (ferrous) : CS, SS, Alloy Steel Metals (non-ferrous) : Cupro Nickel, Al Non-metals : PVC, cement, glass Materials are selected based on their mechanical and metallurgical properties. Mechanical properties: strength, ductility, hardness, brittleness, toughness Metallurgical properties: Chemical composition, weldability

CARBON STEEL
Low Carbon Steel : C < 0.15% Condenser Tubes : SA 179 Weldability : Excellent : 0.15% < C < 0.30% Pipes : SA 106 GR B Weldability: Good

Mild Steel

CARBON STEEL
Medium Carbon Steel : 0.3% < C < 0.5% Machinery Parts Weldability: Fair High Carbon Steel : 0.5% < C < 1% Dies & punch, Tools Weldability: Poor  Steel : Carbon < 2%  Cast Iron : Carbon > 2%

Weldability  As Carbon % increases , weldability decreases  Effect of carbon & other elements on the weldability of carbon steels can be estimated by equating them to an equivalent amount of carbon.


Carbon Equivalent: Ceq = C + Mn/6 + Cr + Mo+ V + Cu + Ni 5 15 Killed Steel During Steel making process oxygen present is removed by adding Silica (De oxidizing agent).

ALLOY STEEL


Addition of elements such as Cromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Manganese, Silicon along with heat treatment improves the properties of steels such as mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, toughness Steel is a ferrous alloy having main constituent Iron and other alloying elements / Impurities like Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Silicon, Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum

ALLOY STEEL
Solid solubility in ferrous alloys : Interstitial solid solution : Carbon with Iron forms interstitial solid solution (Carbon steel) Substitutional solid solution : Cromium and Nickel with iron forms Substitutional solid solution (Stainless steel) Low alloy steels : Alloying elements < 5% High alloy steels : Alloying elements > 5%.

STAINLESS STEEL


Alloy of iron with Cromium content more than 11% and less than 30% and other alloying elements Nickel, Molybdenum etc is called stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel becomes corrosion resistant (passive) because of formation of un-reactive film which adheres tightly to the surface of metal. This can be chromium oxide (Cr2O3) film that acts as a barrier protecting metal against corrosion.

EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS

Chromium Nickel : Increases resistance to Oxidation. : Increases resistance to mineral acid, produces tightly adhering high temperature oxides. Molybdenum: Increases resistance to chloride. Copper : Increases resistance to sulphuric acid. Titanium : Stabilize carbides to prevent formation of chromium carbide Niobium : Stabilize carbides to prevent formation of chromium carbide

Classification based on 1. Alloying Constituents 2. Metallurgical Microstructure 3. Degree of sensitization

STAINLESS STEEL
Alloying constituents 200 Series : Cr. Ni - Mn group ( Mn replaces a portion of Ni) : Cr - Ni group : Straight Chromium Group ( Cr < 30%)

300 Series 400 Series

STAINLESS STEEL
Metallurgical microstructure. Austenitic SS: Alloy of Cr, Ni, Fe Non Magnetic High Corrosion resistance at temp up to 1500F Hardenable by cold working Crystallographic form-Face centered Cubic lattice (fine grain structure) Possess high impact strength at low temp Ex: Type 304, 304L,316,316L

STAINLESS STEEL
Ferritic SS:  Alloy of Cr, Fe  Magnetic  Non Hardenable by heat treatment  Crystallographic form- Body centered cubic lattice (coarse grain structure)  For marine application. (10.5% Cr alloy with no nickel)  Contains high carbon, therefore brittle & relatively poor corrosion resistance  Has resistance to chlorides stress corrosion cracking  Ex: Type 409, 430, 439

STAINLESS STEEL
Martensitic SS.  High hardness (carbon added to the alloy)  Corrosion resistant  Heat treatable to high hardness level  Crystallographic form-distorted lattice  Type 410,420.

STAINLESS STEEL
Precipitation Hardened SS  Magnetic  Heat treatable to high strength.  Weldable and corrosion resistant similar to type 304  Ex:-17-7PH, 17-4PH

STAINLESS STEEL
Duplex SS
    

Contain both Austenite & Ferrite in microstructure. Ni (4 to 7%). When ferrite- Resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking. When Austenite-Sensation to chloride stress corrosion cracking. High strength, Good corrosion resistance Ex: Alloy 2205, Alloy 255

STAINLESS STEEL
3. Degree of sensitization of grain boundaries GROUP 1 SS grade 304,316,309,310. They are susceptible to sensitization. (During welding, flame cutting)

STAINLESS STEEL
GROUP 2  Stabilized stainless steel type 321 &347  Grain boundaries sensitization eliminated by alloying elements like Titanium or Columbium. (Because Titanium or Columbium forms carbides first).  Columbium (Type 347) is stronger stabilizing agent than Ti (Type 321), Hence Type 347 is superior to 321

STAINLESS STEEL
GROUP 3  Extra low carbon stainless steel Type 304L, 316L  Can be stress relieved, welded & cooled slowly without significantly increasing their susceptibility to IGC.

CORROSION


Corrosion is the tendency of any metal to return to its most stable thermodynamic state i.e. state with most negative free energy formation. . More simply stated, it is a chemical reaction of metal with environment to form an oxide, carbonate, sulphate or other stable compound. Corrosion is broadly classified into two categories: temperature and below)  High temperature corrosion (corrosion at elevated temperature including molten metal.)

 Low temperature corrosion (corrosion at room

CORROSION
Classification :

General or uniform corrosion.  Localized Corrosion



Inter granular corrosion (IGC) Pitting corrosion crevice corrosion Stress corrosion cracking Micro biological influenced corrosion.

INTER GRANULAR CORROSION



During Welding:- ( at Temp. 800-1600 F ), Carbon molecules diffuse to grain boundary & precipitate out of solid solution as chromium carbide at the grain boundaries. This result in the depletion of chromium content in the thin envelope surrounding each grain, Hence Stainless Steel becomes susceptible to Inter Granular Corrosion & is said to be sensitized. Corrosion property of sensitized steel can be restored by desensitization i.e. heat above 1600 F, & rapid cooling. Testing Standard: IGC Practice A/B/C/D/E

SULPHIDE STRESS CORROSION CRACKING



 

A cracking process that requires simultaneous action of corrodant and sustained tensile stress. Testing Standard: NACE TM- 01/77 Reporting of test result: Curve shall be reported as per NACE-TM-01-77 for various stress level between 72%and 90% of SMYS. Acceptance Criteria: At 72 % SMYS, time of failure shall not be less than 720 hrs.

HYDROGEN INDUCED CRACKING



Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) is also known as cold cracking, delayed cracking or under bead cracking HIC occurs in piping or vessel as a result of hydrogen pick up in service It occurs in steels during steel manufacturing, during fabrication, and in service. It occurs as a result of welding, the cracks are sited either in HAZ of parent material or in the weld metal it self. Testing Standard: NACE TM- 02/84

NACE
NACE: National Association of Corrosion Engineers  NACE Standard gives chemical composition, Manufacture, Fabrication & testing Requirements for Steels intended to be used for Sour Service environment Sour service Requirements  Steel shall be manufactured by Basic Oxygen Process or Electric arc furnace  Steel to be Killed & fine grained  Materials shall be in Normalized Condition  Nickel % limited to < 1%  Carbon content< 0 .23%  Carbon Equivalent < 0.43%  Hardness < 22 HRC  Sulpher content< 0.002%
