Materials for NH3-Cracking Preheater (433)  

NH3-cracking is very different from NH3-synthesis and any ranking of materials regarding resistance against NH3-cracking is almost unknown, because of the higher temperatures (600-900°C) and much higher nitriding potentials. This project aims describe the nitriding effects - and what can be done to prevent/delay those - in 100% NH3 (with and without 0,2% water) between 200 and 550°C. Nitriding experiments under pressurized conditions shall be undertaken to determine the resistance of various alloys. ...

Materials for NH3-Cracking Reactor (434)  

NH3-cracking is very different from NH3-synthesis and any ranking of materials regarding resistance against NH3-cracking is almost unknown, because of the higher temperatures (600-900°C) and much higher nitriding potentials. This project aims describe the nitriding effects - and what can be done to prevent/delay those - in 100% NH3 (with and without 0,2% water) during the process step of pre-heating the ammonia at temperatures between 200 and 550°C. Nitriding experiments under pressurized conditions ...

Atlas of Microstructures of Ni-Cr-Mo Alloys (414)  

The objective of this project is to produce an atlas for alloys C-22, C-2000, 59 and 686 microstructures that clearly identifies the phases that occur in the alloy. The thermo-mechanical processing and welding that produced the microstructure will be properly documented with each case. The microstructural cases will be correlated with published or computer generated TTT data to explain the presence of each phase.

Remaining Life Evaluation of Aged Alloy 20Cr32Ni Components (375)  

This project follows the completed project 356 which produced an analysis of the existing literature on this topic and guidance on an experimental plant to determine the remaining lifetime of components composed of Alloy 20Cr32Ni after aging at high process temperature. The objective of this project is to conduct an experimental evaluation of this alloy following aging in a process environment to determine remaining utility for further plant service.

Measurement and Correlation of Wear Resistance (427)  

There are numerous standard ASTM test methods for determining the relative resistance of materials or surface treatments to impingement, dry sliding wear, and wet reciprocating wear, however, there is no established correlation between a material’s mechanical properties and its wear resistance. The relationship between such wear tests and actual wear performance in equipment is unclear. The objective of this project is to develop approaches to predict wear rates for a range of materials frequently ...

Supplementary Specifications for SMRs and Ethylene Furnace Coil Materials ...  

Develop a supplementary material specification for pressure-retaining components within - SMR and ethylene heater fireboxes. The purpose of the supplementary material specifications is to decrease the variability in mechanical properties, improve the predictability of material performance, and reduce the frequency of failures. The material specification does not include tube supports, pigtails, or outlet manifolds.

Aqueous Corrosion in Renewable Fuel Processing Units (424)  

No tool exist for predicting the corrosivity in the aqueous streams in renewable fuel processing units. The aqueous phase contains a combination of chemicals (CO, CO2, H2S, NH3 and HCl) which are all outside of the existing available models. The goal is to better understand the limits for corrosion resistant alloys under the aqueous conditions present in renewable fuel processing units
