Mechanical Investigations of ASTM A36 Welded Steels with Stainless Steel Cladding

Abstract

The in-service life of ASTM A36 welded steel pipes in power plants is often shortened by ash corrosion. During the heating condition, the ash deposition on the welded steel pipes gradually reduces the thickness of the pipes, thus, reducing the lifetime. Instead of replacing the pipes with new ones, the cost could be significantly reduced if the lifetime could be further extended. Weld cladding was the method selected in this study to temporarily extend the service life of welded pipes. This paper performed the mechanical investigations of A36—A36 welded steel plates after coating the surfaces with 309L stainless steel with a cladding method. The residual stress was also tested to observe the internal stresses developed during the welding processes of A36—A36 specimens. The comparison between the coated and non-coated surfaces of welded steels was performed by using the tensile tests (at room and elevated temperatures), corrosion (pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, and weight-loss corrosion) tests, and wear (shot blasting) tests. The life-extension of both coatings was evaluated based on the tensile tests and the corrosion and wear tests provided the qualitative evaluations of the coating performance. The results showed that surfaces coated by cladding could be used to temporarily extend the life of ASTM A36 welded steel under the studied conditions.

Analisa Rancangan Dinding Modular Dengan Sistem Interlock Sebagai Kontruksi Bangunan Baja Sementara Di Remote Area

“…Menurut kamus besar Bahasa Indonesia Modular adalah menciptakan suatu rancangan sehingga model dapat menggunakan satu komponen yang sama, sedangkan Interlock adalah fitur yang membuat keadaan dua mekanisme atau fungsi saling bergantung. [3] Fungsi dari dinding modular dengan sistem interlock adalah untuk membuat sebuah bangunan plat baja yang dapat digunakan sebagai dinding dan atap sebagai fasilitas suatu proyek di remote area. dengan harapan dapat menekan biaya maupun keterbatasan material untuk membuat fasilitas bangunan sementara di remote area suatu proyek.…”

Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Corrosion Behavior of Co‐Based Stellite 6 Multilayer Overlays Deposited on ASTM A36 Steel by Gas Metal Arc Welding Process

“…[ 19 ] Stainless steel (E309L‐16) has been used as a cladding material for repairing the steel tubes in power plant boilers and a feasibility study was performed by joining SS 309L‐clad ASTM A36 steel plates using GTAW and SMAW processes. [ 20 ] Also, it revealed a 16% increase in tensile strength when tested at 500 °C and pitting resistance was higher for the stainless steel‐clad A36 plate. When a hardfaced product or component was subjected to service environment involving thermal loading or cyclic stress, it is obvious to study about the interface properties as it governs the overall performance of the deposit.…”
