Hot tensile properties and constant load stress corrosion cracking test data of autogenous weld joints of super 304HCu stainless steel in boiling MgCl2 solution

Abstract

Hot tensile test data of Gas Tungsten Arc Welded (GTAW) autogenous joints of Super 304HCu tubes tested at their operating temperature are presented along with the microstructure of the weld joint. The GTAW joints exhibited lower tensile strength than the parent metal and the failure occurred in the weld metal region for all test temperatures. Constant load Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) test data of the GTAW weld joints tested in boiling MgCl2 environment at different applied stress level are presented. SCC curves obtained from the test were analyzed to derive SCC parameters such as rate of steady state elongation, the time required for set-in of tertiary region, and time to complete fracture. The fracture surfaces of SCC samples were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope to reveal the mode of fracture. Super 304HCu stainless steel being used as construction material for super heaters and reheaters of advanced ultra super critical boilers, this data will be an addition to the design data available for material selection in design of power plants.

Dataset of copper pipes corrosion after exposure to chlorine

“…Corrosion is a major problem due to the destruction of various materials, especially metals [1] . It is necessary to ensure a high degree of chemical compatibility between pipe construction materials and operating fluids, such as potable water to prevent corrosion of the material [2] and health risk of drinking water consumption related to heavy metals, in this case due to copper [3] , [4] . The materials of pipes, fittings and valves in distribution networks deteriorate due to corrosive water and cause some health, aesthetic and economic problems [5] .…”

Experimental studies and optimization of process parameters in laser welding of stainless steel 304 H

“…Nickel-based super alloys and austenitic stainless steels (ASS) are preferred in the manufacturing of boiler components owing to their high thermal strength, corrosion resistance, and superior creep resistance. 3 Among the different ASSs, stainless-steel 304 H (SS 304 H) is one of the widely used materials in the fabrication of boiler components. SS 304 H is used in the superheater and reheater sections of power plants.…”
