AUGUR information on inspected zones as applied to pearlitic and austenitic weld materials reduces level of ISI results uncertainty and therefore gives additional insurance of pressure boundary integrity. 

Corrosive chemicals and external exposure can cause tank failure. Materials of construction should be chosen so that they are compatible with the chemicals and exposure involved. Welding reduces the corrosion resistance of many alloys, leading to localized attack at the heat-affected zones. This may be prevented by the use of the proper alloys and weld materials, in some cases combined with annealing heat treatment. 

Locations. Galvanic corrosion of any type is most severe in immediate proximity to the junction of the coupled metals. Galvanic corrosion of weld metals is frequently microstructurally localized. The less-noble weld material will corrode away, leaving behind the skeletal remnants of the more-noble metal (Figs. 15.1 and 15.2). 

Production platforms are coated only in exceptional cases or for the purposes of investigation because the life of the structure is greater than the life of the coating. Therefore in the design of the cathodic protection, only the protection potential Us of the steel need be considered. Steels with an ultimate tensile strength of up to 350 N mm are used for these structures, which are weldable even in thick sections, and the hardness of the welded material can be kept to 350 HV (see Section 2.3.4 [2,10]). Aluminum anodes with the same protection effect and life as zinc anodes have much less weight. This is a very important advantage for... 

Spiral-plate exchangers are fabricated from any material that can be cold worked and welded. Materials commonly used include carbo steel, stainless steel, nickel and nickel alloys, titanium, Hastelloys, and copper alloys. Baked phenolic-resin coatings are sometimes applied. Electrodes can also be wound into the assembly to anodically protect surfaces against corrosion. 

The duplex range of stainless steels can be readily cast, wrought and machined. Problems can occur in welding, due to the need to keep the correct balance of ferrite and austenite in the weld area, but this can be overcome using the correct welding materials and procedures.

Seal Welding. Seal welding taper-threaded joints should be considered for hydrogen gas inside buildings. Taper-threaded joints shall not be seal welded unless the composition of the metals in the joint is known and proper procedures for those metals are followed. Thread sealants shall not be used and the weld material shall cover the full circumferential length of the thread. 

Indications of the pressures required for welding materials of different kinds are given in Table VI.

Breccias which are shock compressed aggregates of soil (regolith breccias) or thermally welded material (metamorphic breccias). 

The scutes of the green and lo erhead turtles are thin, and it would seem an obvious solution to weld them together for bulk. However, the welded material foom these turtles cracks and qtlits with time. Ill Japan efforts were made to get around this by coveting a sin e layer of tonoiseshell with plastic to add bulk, but the result was a material of in tior quality, which was therefore unsads ctoty.

Abrasive blasting techniques can be used for large or irregular surfaces provided the abrasive medium is free of contaminants that could become embedded into the metal surface. Internally welded vessels should be finished according to prescribed welding procedures. Wire brushing or grinding should be done with materials compatible to the welded material, and at speeds that will not embed material into the weld. 

Calculation of the so-called fluence factor of the copper impact into the transition temperature shift confirms that for the value fluence about 0.0002 dpa saturation of this factor is observed already. The attempt to separate out the embitterment data into the two components of CEC and AfDg was carried out . It was found that the copper component remains unchanged already due irradiation 0.0005 dpa at 190-200°C of weld surveillance material. Similar analysis for PWR submerged-arc weld material following accelerated irradiation at temperatures in the range 255-315°C shows that copper contribution remains unchanged after irradiation with dose of 0.01 dpa. 

Weldability of the CP-Ti was not as good as that of the Ti 15-3-3-3. Sound welds were produced, but flash was excessive and the volume of material expelled from the weld zone resulted in substantial sheet thinning the sheet thinning was particularly significant because of the gage of the base metal sheet (2 mm). Figure lb shows a top surface view of the weld in which the heavy flash is visible. The production of flash appears to be related to sticking of weld material to the FSW tool. Weld parameter optimization should result in improved weld quality.

Figure 7.14 shows a comparison of the stress-strain curves of a conventional and a modified PTFE for the original and welded material. The weld line in conventional PTFE when welded to itself, at best, fails at very low strains. In the case of a modified resin welded to itself, the weld factor attains value of 0.80-0.85. The weld factors for welding of conventional to modified PTFE have been reported in the range of 0.66-0.87.F 1...
