DESCRIBE ALL CLARIFICATION, USE ONE SUBJECT and ONE DISCIPLINE PER QUERY,

ORIGINAL SCOPE

POST FORMING HEAT TREATMENT (NORMALIZING) FOR PRESSURE VESSEL

TOP HEAD AS PER PTS 12.20.01

REVISED SCOPE / NEW SCOPE

PROPOSE TO CHANGE THE METHOD OF POST FORMING HEAT TREATMENT

OF TOP HEAD FROM NORMALIZING TO STRESS RELIEF.

JUSTIFICATION / PURPOSE

BASED ASME SECTION VIII, DIV 1 2013 ED, CLAUSE UCS-79, HEAT
TREATMENT SHALL BE PERFORMED TO ALL PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN COLD
FORMED WITH FIBER ELONGATION GREATER THEN 5% FOR CARBON STEEL
MATERIAL. POST FORMING HEAT TREATMENT (STRESS RELIEF) SHALL BE
PERFORMED AT TEMPERATURE 610C - 625C FOR 2 HOURS HOLDING TIME
(MINIMUM).

(include deviation/waiver)

WHILE IN PTS 12.20.01 CLAUSE 5.2.4.i MENTION THAT HEAT TREATMENT

(NORMLIZING) SHALL BE PERFORMED TO ALL PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN
COLD FORMED WITH FIBER ELONGATION GREATER THEN 5% FOR CARBON
STEEL MATERIAL.NORMALIZING SHALL BE PERFORMED AT TEMPERATURE
OF 910C WITH 10 MINUTES HOLDING TIME.
SINCE THE MATERIAL OF TOP HEAD IS CARBON STEEL CLADDING (SA 516
GR 60N +3.5MM SS316L), WITH EXPOSING TO TEMPERATURE ABOVE 425 C 870 C FOR SUFFICIENT TIME WILL LEADS TO FORMATION OF CHROMIUM
CARBIDE AT AUSTENITE GRAIN BOUNDRIES WHICH CALLS SENSITIZATION
EFFECT. INTER-GRANULAR CORROSION WILL OCCURS WHEN A SENSITIZED
MATERIAL IS EXPOSED TO SUFFICIENTLY STRONG CORROSIVE MEDIUM
FOR A LONG ENOUGH TIME.
INORDER TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECT OF SENSITIZATION, MSET PROPOSE TO
MAKE A DEVIATION ON THE REQUIREMENT OF POST FORMING HEAT
TREATMENT FROM NORMALIZING TO STRESS RELIEF.
