Aged microstructure of the HP stainless steel, modified with 1%Nb, cast fitting, tubular, operating for 6 years in a furnace which design temperature is 1100°C. The material presented a network of primary carbides, white and grey, and an austenitic matrix with coalescing secondary precipitation. Some voids. The Vickers identation indicates a hardness value about 260HV 100g in the aged austenitic matrix.

ML00173 — Welding Cracks in an Aged HP Cast FittingM - Heat Resistant SteelP - Cast FtittingAp - PetrochemicalCd - Welding
Condition of the joint between the centrifugally cast tube (bottom) and the buttered fitting (top). During this welding the cast fitting (buttered) showed several cracks but after removal of the fitting it was clear that the cracks were formed during the buttering and not during the joining.
