HK alloy is a member of the heat resistant cast alloy family (H-Series) steels. They are widely
used in the petrochemical industry for components requiring enhanced high temperature …

In contrast to the Uniaxial Creep Test (UCT), where each stress produces a corresponding
strain, the Small Punch Creep Test (SPCT) generates displacement in response to applied …

This study presents a failure analysis investigation of a stainless steel tube tree sample from
an industrial furnace. The study aimed to identify the factors responsible for the failure and …

A furnace tube support failed after 6 months service at 850° C. The support was an HK alloy,
a member of the heat-resistant cast alloy family (H-Series) steels. The H-series steels are …

In additive manufacturing, the flowability of feedstock particles determines the quality of the
parts that are affected by different parameters, including the chemistry and morphology of …

We report our findings of a detailed investigation into the frequent failures of ethylene
furnace radiant tubes at a petrochemical plant. One of the failed samples having gas …

Warpage and complete or partial tear of burner material was frequently experienced in coal-
fired power plants due to material overheating. Root-cause analysis of a burner tip failure is …

The aim of this investigation is to examine the premature failure of a low-pressure steam
superheater tube used in a vacuum distillation unit of a petrochemical industry. Failure of the …

Creep damage investigation was carried out in Fe-Ni-Cr alloy at 800° C, 900° C, and 983° C
using rectangular section form of specimen. In all the tests conducted on this material, some …
