PIPING MATERIAL MODULAR FABRICATION YARD PIPING MODULE – PART II
INTRODUCTION Piping Materials can be classified as ■
■
■
Metals (ferrous) : CS, SS, Alloy Steel Metals (non-ferrous) : Cupro Nickel, Al Non-metals : PVC, cement, glass Materials are selected based on their mechanical and metallurgical properties. Mechanical properties: strength, ductility, hardness, brittleness, toughness Metallurgical properties: Chemical composition, weldability
CARBON STEEL Low Carbon Steel
: C < 0.15% Condenser Tubes : SA 179 Weldability : Excellent
Mild Steel
: 0.15% < C < 0.30% Pipes : SA 106 GR B Weldability: Good
CARBON STEEL Medium Carbon Steel : 0.3% < C < 0.5% Machinery Parts Weldability: Fair High Carbon Steel : 0.5% < C < 1% Dies & punch, Tools Weldability: Poor Steel : Carbon < 2% Cast Iron : Carbon > 2%
Weldability ■ As Carbon % increases , weldability decreases ■ Effect of carbon & other elements on the weldability of carbon steels can be estimated by equating them to an equivalent amount of carbon. ■
Carbon Equivalent:
Ceq = C + Mn/6 + Cr + Mo+ V + Cu + Ni 5 ■

Killed Steel During Steel making process oxygen present is removed by adding Silica (De oxidizing agent).
ALLOY STEEL
Addition of elements such as Cromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Manganese, Silicon along with heat treatment improves the properties of steels such as mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, toughness
Steel is a ferrous alloy having main constituent Iron and other alloying elements / Impurities like Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Silicon, Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum
ALLOY STEEL Solid solubility in ferrous alloys : Interstitial solid solution : Carbon with Iron forms interstitial solid solution (Carbon steel) Substitutional solid solution : Cromium and Nickel with iron forms Substitutional solid solution (Stainless steel) Low alloy steels : Alloying elements < 5% High alloy steels : Alloying elements > 5%.
STAINLESS STEEL
Alloy of iron with Cromium content more than 11% and less than 30% and other alloying elements Nickel, Molybdenum etc is called stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel becomes corrosion resistant (passive) because of formation of un-reactive film which adheres tightly to the surface of metal. This can be chromium oxide (Cr2O3) film that acts as a barrier protecting metal against corrosion.
EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS Chromium Nickel
: Increases resistance to Oxidation. : Increases resistance to mineral acid, produces tightly adhering high temperature oxides. Molybdenum: Increases resistance to chloride. Copper : Increases resistance to sulphuric acid. Titanium : Stabilize carbides to prevent formation of chromium carbide Niobium : Stabilize carbides to prevent formation of chromium carbide

STAINLESS STEEL Classification based on 1. Alloying Constituents 2. Metallurgical Microstructure 3. Degree of sensitization
STAINLESS STEEL Alloying constituents 200 Series
: Cr. Ni - Mn group ( Mn replaces a portion of Ni)
300 Series
: Cr - Ni group
400 Series
: Straight Chromium Group ( Cr < 30%)
STAINLESS STEEL Metallurgical microstructure. Austenitic SS: Alloy of Cr, Ni, Fe Non Magnetic High Corrosion resistance at temp up to 1500F Hardenable by cold working Crystallographic form-Face centered Cubic lattice (fine grain structure) Possess high impact strength at low temp Ex: Type 304, 304L,316,316L
STAINLESS STEEL Ferritic SS: Alloy of Cr, Fe Magnetic Non Hardenable by heat treatment Crystallographic form- Body centered cubic lattice (coarse grain structure) For marine application. (10.5% Cr alloy with no nickel) Contains high carbon, therefore brittle & relatively poor corrosion resistance Has resistance to chlorides stress corrosion cracking Ex: Type 409, 430, 439
STAINLESS STEEL Martensitic SS. High hardness (carbon added to the alloy) Corrosion resistant Heat treatable to high hardness level Crystallographic form-distorted lattice Type 410,420.
STAINLESS STEEL Precipitation Hardened SS Magnetic Heat treatable to high strength. Weldable and corrosion resistant similar to type 304 Ex:-17-7PH, 17-4PH
STAINLESS STEEL Duplex SS
Contain both Austenite & Ferrite in microstructure. Ni (4 to 7%). When ferrite- Resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking. When Austenite-Sensation to chloride stress corrosion cracking. High strength, Good corrosion resistance Ex: Alloy 2205, Alloy 255
STAINLESS STEEL 3. Degree of sensitization of grain boundaries GROUP 1 SS grade 304,316,309,310. They are susceptible to sensitization. (During welding, flame cutting)
STAINLESS STEEL GROUP 2 Stabilized stainless steel type 321 &347 Grain boundaries sensitization eliminated by alloying elements like Titanium or Columbium. (Because Titanium or Columbium forms carbides first). Columbium (Type 347) is stronger stabilizing agent than Ti (Type 321), Hence Type 347 is superior to 321
STAINLESS STEEL GROUP 3 Extra low carbon stainless steel Type 304L, 316L Can be stress relieved, welded & cooled slowly without significantly increasing their susceptibility to IGC.

CORROSION ■
Corrosion is the tendency of any metal to return to its most stable thermodynamic state i.e. state with most negative free energy formation. . More simply stated, it is a chemical reaction of metal with environment to form an oxide, carbonate, sulphate or other stable compound.
■
Corrosion is broadly classified into two categories: Low temperature corrosion (corrosion at room temperature and below) High temperature corrosion (corrosion at elevated temperature including molten metal.)
CORROSION Classification :
General or uniform corrosion. Localized Corrosion
Inter granular corrosion (IGC) Pitting corrosion crevice corrosion Stress corrosion cracking Micro biological influenced corrosion.
INTER GRANULAR CORROSION
During Welding:- ( at Temp. 800-1600 F ), Carbon molecules diffuse to grain boundary & precipitate out of solid solution as chromium carbide at the grain boundaries. This result in the depletion of chromium content in the thin envelope surrounding each grain, Hence Stainless Steel becomes susceptible to Inter Granular Corrosion & is said to be sensitized. Corrosion property of sensitized steel can be restored by desensitization i.e. heat above 1600 F, & rapid cooling. Testing Standard: IGC Practice A/B/C/D/E
SULPHIDE STRESS CORROSION CRACKING
A cracking process that requires simultaneous action of corrodant and sustained tensile stress. NACE MR-0175 standard presents metallic material requirements for resistance to sulfide stress cracking(SSC) for petroleum production,drilling,gathering,flowline equipment, and field processing facilities to be used in hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-bearing hydrocarbon services. Testing Standard: NACE TM- 01/77 Reporting of test result: Curve shall be reported as per NACE-TM-01-77 for various stress level between 72%and 90% of SMYS. Acceptance Criteria: At 72 % SMYS, time of failure shall not be less than 720 hrs.
HYDROGEN INDUCED CRACKING
Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) is also known as cold cracking, delayed cracking or under bead cracking HIC occurs in piping or vessel as a result of hydrogen pick up in service It occurs in steels during steel manufacturing, during fabrication, and in service. It occurs as a result of welding, the cracks are sited either in HAZ of parent material or in the weld metal it self. Testing Standard: NACE TM- 02/84
NACE NACE: National Association of Corrosion Engineers ■ NACE Standard gives chemical composition, Manufacture, Fabrication & testing Requirements for Steels intended to be used for Sour Service environment Sour service Requirements ■ Steel shall be manufactured by Basic Oxygen Process or Electric arc furnace ■ Steel to be Killed & fine grained ■ Materials shall be in Normalized Condition ■ Nickel % limited to < 1% ■ Carbon content< 0 .23% ■ Carbon Equivalent < 0.43% ■ Hardness < 22 HRC ■ Sulpher content< 0.002%
