Purpose: In dental practice, there is necessary to weld gold with titanium under the conditions of a dental technique laboratory, which is difficult. The aim was to assess the weldability of pure gold with the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V using a prosthetic laser welding machine. Design/methodology/approach: Gold wire in a diameter of 0.4 mm made with the use of a jewellery drawbar (GOLDPORT, Szczecin, Poland) was welded to a titanium alloy Ti6Al4V substrate of dental implant abutment screw (MegaGen). Dental laser welding parameters (Bego Laser Star T plus) were 230 V; 6.5 ms; 2.5 Hz; laser spot 0.3 mm, and argon blow. Samples were included in resin, ground (500-4000 SiC), polished (Al2O3 suspension) and etched (Kroll solution) per 20 s before observation under a light microscope. Findings: There were well-welded and poorly joined zones. The discontinuities and voids there were not visible or sparse next to the initial weld point. Dendritic structure at well-welded remelting zones and two-phase microstructure of titanium and Ti3Au phase were found. The heat-affected zone was about of 20 microns. Research limitations/implications: Light microscopy was used, and precise phase identification required further investigations. Weld strength assessment requires further micro-hardness and load-bearing ability tests. Weldability concerns the model system with pure gold. Practical implications: In the case of elements with dimensions below 0.4 mm, the use of a laser with a smaller spot should be considered for better control of the remelting zone and mechanical positioning of the elements in order to stabilize and avoid discontinuities and voids. Originality/value: Prosthetic laser welding with a laser spot about of 0.3 mm allows to obtain well-welded parts of 0.3 mm in diameter under stable stitching conditions and higher than 0.4 mm in dimensions.

The paper describes structure and properties of dissimilar stainless steels welded joints between duplex 2205 and austenitic 316L steels. Investigations were focused on environmentally assisted cracking of welded joints. The susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement was determined in slow strain rate tests (SSRT) with the strain rate of 2.2 × 10−6 s−1. Chloride-inducted SCC was determined in the 35% boiling water solution of MgCl2 environment at 125°C. Hydrogen assisted SCC tests were performed in synthetic sea water under cathodic polarization condition. It was shown that place of the lowest resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking is heat affected zone at duplex steel side of dissimilar joins. That phenomenon was connected with undesirable structure of HAZ comprising of large fractions of ferrite grains with acicular austenite phase. Hydrogen assisted SCC tests showed significant reduction in ductility of duplex 2205 steel while austenitic 316L steel remains almost immune to degradation processes. SSR tests of dissimilar welded joints revealed a fracture in the area of austenitic steel.

This paper presents results of the research on impact of microstructure of austenitic-ferritic steel of duplex type on its mechanical properties and susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking. As showed, improper processing technologies more and more often used in shipbuilding industry for plates and other half-finished products made of duplex steel may cause significant lowering their properties, which frequently makes their replacing necessary. Results of the tests on stress corrosion under tension with low strain rate (SSRT) conducted in an inert and corrosion (boiling magnesium chloride) environment , are presented. It was proved that even minor structural transformations taking place in 500ºC ageing temperature lower corrosion resistance of the steel. Structural transformations occurring in 700ºC temperature to a smaller extent influence susceptibility to stress corrosion of the steel, however they cause drastic drop in its plasticity.

W artykule omówiono zagadnienie odporności powłok na rurach ekranowych kotłów niskoemisyjnych na korozję płomieniową. Przedstawiono wyniki badań diagnostycznych powłok ochronnych na rurach ekranowych kotłów pyłowych, niskoemisyjnych, pracujących przy współspalaniu biomasy. Badano powłoki natryskiwane cieplnie Al2O3/Ni-30Cr oraz hybrydowe nanoszone techniką malarską. Stan powłok oceniono po jednym i dwóch latach eksploatacji w warunkach oddziaływania płomienia i spalin, oraz erozyjnego oddziaływania strumienia powietrza ze zdmuchiwacza. Stwierdzono, że badane powłoki ochronne nie zabezpieczają powierzchni rur ekranowych przed korozją płomieniową, w tym siarkową, w warunkach spalania podstechiometrycznego. Współspalanie biomasy znacząco przyśpiesza degradację powłok, szczególnie hybrydowych nanoszonych techniką malarską. Trwałość powłok wynosiła do dwóch lat eksploatacji kotła.

Content available remote Failure of austenitic stainless steel tubes during steam generator operation
EN
Purpose: of this study is to analyze the causes of premature failure of steam generator coil made of austenitic stainless steel. Special attention is paid to corrosion damage processes within the welded joints. Design/methodology/approach: Examinations were conducted several segments of the coil made of seamless cold-formed pipes Ø 23x2.3 mm, of austenitic stainless steel grade X6CrNiTi18-10 according to EN 10088-1:2007. The working time of the device was 6 months. The reason for the withdrawal of the generator from the operation was leaks in the coil tube caused by corrosion damage. The metallographic investigations were performed with the use of light microscope and scanning electron microscope equipped with the EDX analysis attachment. Findings: Examinations of coil tubes indicated severe corrosion damages as pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and intergranular corrosion within base material and welded joints. Causes of corrosion was defined as wrong choice of austenitic steel grade, improper welding technology, lack of quality control of water supply and lack of surface treatment of stainless steel pipes. Research limitations/implications: It was not known the quality of water supply of steam generator and this was the reason for some problems in the identification of corrosion processes. Practical implications: Based on the obtained research results and literature studies some recommendations were formulated in order to avoid failures in the application of austenitic steels in the steam generators. These recommendations relate to the selection of materials, processing technology and working environment. Originality/value: Article clearly shows that attempts to increase the life time of evaporator tubes and steam coils by replacing non-alloy or low alloy structural steel by austenitic steel, without regard to restrictions on its use, in practice often fail.

Purpose: of this paper is to reveal the microstructural changes in 13HMF steel exposed to long-term service at elevated temperatures. The degradation of bainite structure was determined and carbides morphology has been examined. The influence of carbides evolution was discussed in dependence of creep rupture strength and mechanical properties of the steel. Design/methodology/approach: Examinations were conducted on 273 mm diameter, 32 mm wall thickness tube made of 13HMF (14MoV6-3) steel. The tube was a segment of stem pipeline used in power plant at 540°C. The service time is 168,000 hours. Microstructure of the material has been examined with the use of light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis was used for phase chemical composition identification. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of thin foils was used for carbides structure identification. The mechanical properties of the tube material were evaluated in static tensile tests at room temperature, hardness tests and impact Charpy U tests. Findings: Microstructure of 13HMF steel tube shows an advanced level of degradation - coagulation of carbides at ferrite grain boundaries and inside bainitic grains. Precipitates of carbides decorated grain boundaries in chain forms. The presence of M7C3, M23C6, M6C phases were revealed. After extended service M23C6 and M3C carbides were replaced by more stable carbides. This transformation did not occur until the end. This indicates the presence of mainly Mo2C carbide, and only sporadic occurrence of carbide M6C. Practical implications: Useability of the method for assessing the current degradation level and for predicting residual lifetime of creep-resistant tubes based on analysis of carbides morphology was confirmed for Cr-Mo-V steel. Originality/value: Information available in literature does not clearly indicate the influence of microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr-Mo-V steel after long-term exploitation. The study shows such relations.

Content available remote Corrosion of evaporator tubes in low emission steam boilers
EN
Purpose: of this paper is to reveal the mechanisms of corrosion processes of outer surfaces of low-emission steam boiler evaporator tubes. Examinations were performed to find the reasons of different corrosion susceptibility of tubes situated at combustion chamber on various levels. Design/methodology/approach: Examinations were conducted on several segments of Ø 57 x 5.0 mm evaporator tubes made of 16M (16Mo3) steel grade. Segments were taken from level of 10 meters and 18 meters from the chamber bottom of low-emission coal fired steam boiler after two years operation. Microstructure degradation of base material was estimated. Metallographic evaluation of scale morphology, its micro sites chemical composition analysis and distribution of elements on cross sections have been performed. Findings: Eexaminations of evaporator tubes indicated that reduction of wall thickness was considerable at the segments taken from level of 10 m, when at level of 18 m this reduction was small. The morphology of scales consisted of external layer which was porous and weakly connected to the tube surface, and internal layer, which was dense and adherent to the base metal. In these two layers the bands reach in sulfur were detected. The sulfide corrosion seems to be the main degradation mechanism of the tube surface at the level of 10 m. Research limitations/implications: Corrosion of the water wall tubes in low-emission steam boilers is a result of reaction of steel tube surface with the aggressive substoichiometric environment contains sulfur. The chemical composition of flue gases changes along the water wall. The exact compound of flue gases has not been determined in this study. Practical implications: Prevention of water wall tubes corrosion can be achieved by changing in operation conditions or replacement of tube materials. The first mentioned action is limited to accurate burner's adjustment or introduces a flow of additional air along the walls and create air curtain between reducing environment and tubes surface. These efforts often are insufficient. The replacement of more corrosion resistant material on Cr rich steel or Cr-Ni steel is possible but other problems appear connected with high costs of installation and low heat transfer coefficients of such materials. Knowing the mechanisms of corrosion allows adjusting combustion process at low emission steam boilers. Originality/value: Information available in literature does not clearly indicate what mechanism of corrosion is dominant at different parts of combustion chamber. The current study shows which corrosion mechanisms are the most dangerous for evaporator tubes.

Purpose: of this paper is to study the effect of heat treatments and resulting changes in microstructure on mechanical properties, mainly impact toughness, of commercial 2205 duplex stainless steel and higher alloy superduplex 2507 grade. Design/methodology/approach: Both steels were submitted to ageing treatments in the temperature range of 500-900 °C with exposure time periods 6 minutes, 1 hour and 10 hours. Light microscope examinations, hardness measurements and impact toughness tests were performed in order to reveal microstructure and changes in mechanical properties. Findings: Obtained results confirm that high temperature service of duplex stainless steels should be avoided. Precipitations of secondary phases (mainly ó phase) strongly deteriorate mechanical properties of steels but some amounts of these phases could be acceptable in the microstructure depending upon the application of the steel. Research limitations/implications: Presence of secondary phases in duplex stainless steel microstructure can be very harmful for its corrosion resistance. This phenomenon is not considered in this study. Practical implications: The accidents during exploitation and errors in processing of duplex stainless steels can result in undesired temperature growth over 500°C. Such events brings question whether the steel can be still exploited or not. The aim of present study is to reveal the effect of thermal cycles on structural changes and mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel and establish the highest acceptable time-temperature conditions for safe operation of the steel. Originality/value: Information available in literature does not clearly indicate what amount of secondary phases existing in duplex stainless steel microstructure can be acceptable. The current study shows that duplex 2205 steel affected by thermal cycles and containing about 10% of sigma phase still exhibit acceptable mechanical properties.

Content available remote Assessment of Evaporator Tubes Corrosion in Low-Emission Steam Boilers
EN
Degradation examinations of outer surface of low-emission steam boiler evaporator tubes are presented in the paper. Metallographic evaluation of scale morphology, its micro sites chemical composition analysis and distribution of elements on cross sections have been performed. Water-wall tubes were exposed in steam boiler for up to two years period. Common tubes made of 16Mo3 steel suffered sulfide and molten salts corrosions. Thermal sprayed tubes with the single layer of 70%Ni 30%Cr alloy show better corrosion resistance, but become also susceptible to sulfide corrosion due to presence of internal voids and cracks. Double layer Al2O3/Ni-30Cr coatings withstand corrosion attack for more than one year operation, then failed due to internal heterogeneity and cracks generation.
