Fracture Mechanics (MTI Publication #8) Update (404)  

The book, “MTI MANUAL NO. 8 FRACTURE CONTROL FOR THE CHEMICAL PROCESS INDUSTRIES” by D. Broek was published in 1983. It is a very instructive book aimed at providing a solid understanding and appreciation of the basics of fracture mechanics and its use to a technical audience not expert in this technology. Many technical developments in the use of fracture mechanics applied to process equipment have occurred in the 40 years since the 1983 publication. This book is of high quality and explains ...

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.

Alloy 625 Atlas of Microstructures Addendum (443)  

An Alloy 625 vessel with heads, piping, welds, and flanges that was operated at the lower temperature regime of the TTT curve with exposure of about 40,000 hours has been removed from service and is available for metallurgical analysis. The project objective is to create an addendum to the Atlas of Microstructures for 625 with analysis of this material that would document the microstructure of this alloy with actual long term service exposure at moderate temperature.

Additive Manufacturing of Rotating Equipment (426)  

Rotating equipment components often have long lead time due to complexities of the design. Many components are manufactured through a combination of casting and/or complex machining. Economic pressures have resulted in the consolidation of many OEM manufacturers, with globalized supply chain leading to additional consolidation of manufacturing capabilities. Advancements in 3D Digital Reproduction and Additive Manufacturing offer potential alternatives to address these issues by providing alternative ...

Guideline for Preservation of New Equipment and Piping During Plant Construction ...  

Develop a Guideline that covers the basic degradation mechanism that can damage equipment and piping during plant construction, pre-commissioning. List the mitigation and prevention steps, be aware that these have changed with module fabrication in low cost countries and ban on many corrosion inhibitors due to environmental concerns. The MTI guideline should become an “industry standard” that can be shared with non-materials/corrosion engineers to avoid MIC failures. It should describe cases and ...
