Abstract:Refinery equipment subjected to high pressure is commonly made of Vanadium high strength steels (2¼Cr1Mo¼V), characterized by high allowable stress and low toughness in the as welded condition, leading to potential wall cracking before the application of thermal treatments. Therefore, the decision to perform specific thermal treatments after welding is of paramount importance. These thermal treatments, which are quite expensive and time demanding for the manufacturer, are still under discussion and not support… Show more
