The macrography of a longitudinal section of the shell plate (sample removed from the boiler), at the position of the fillet weld (sealing weld) with a tube, where surface welding repairs created conditions for cracking the base material in a transgranular morphology. Several cracks were identify starting from the steam drum internal surface.

The internal surface of the 2 1/2" thickness plate drum was welded to attach a baffle plate (1/4" thick) using two fillets (one in each side of the plate to shell), but the welding procedure was not suitable since cracks appeared underbead, although they were detected only after 6 month in operation, when the baffle was removed. The picture shows a macrography of the surface, with the cracking.
