The user of a CRA or other alloy shall Metals and alloys in the ensure that the chemical analysis of Unified Numbering System The unified numbering system (UNS) is an alloy designation system widely accepted in North America. It consists of a prefix letter and five digits designating a material composition. For example, a prefix of S indicates stainless steel alloys, C indicates copper, brass, or bronze alloys, T indicates tool steels, and so on. The first 3 digits often match older 3-digit numbering systems, while the last 2 digits indicate more modern variations. For example, Copper Alloy No. 377 (forging brass) in the original 3-digit system became C37700 in the UNS System. The UNS is managed jointly by the ASTM International and SAE International. A UNS number alone does not constitute a full material specification because it establishes no requirements for material properties, heat treatment, form, or quality.

Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang

the material used meets the material analysis requirements shown for the material in:


A.1.3 Environmental and metallurgical limits for cracking-resistance A.2.2 to A.11.2 contain materials selection tables showing the environmental limits of the materials when used for any equipment or component. These subclauses also often contain materials selection tables showing the less restrictive environmental limits of the materials when used for named equipment or components. The tables show the application limits with respect to (1) temperature, (2) pH2S, (3) Cl−, (4) pH, (5) S0. These limits apply collectively. The pH used in the tables corresponds to the minimum in situ pH. • • • •

NOTE 1 In the tables of this Annex, the SI unit “milligrams per litre” is used for mass concentration. In US Customary units, these are commonly expressed in parts per million (ppm). NOTE 2 Guidance on the calculation of pH2S is given in ISO 15156-2:2015, Annex C. NOTE 3 Guidance on the calculation of pH is given in ISO 15156-2:2015, Annex D. NOTE 4 In preparing the materials selection tables, it is assumed that no oxygen is present in the service environment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_(manufacturing)


Rolled Vs Cut Thread Bolts Irrespective of whether we're talking about headed bolts, bent bolts, or rods, threads constitute a mechanical fastener that is produced by rolling or cutting. As its name suggests, roll threading implies introducing a hardened steel die between the diameters of the finished thread. The dies penetrate the blank space, leading the newly formed thread roots outwards to create the crests. On the other hand, cut threading entails removing the material from a round bar of steel to form the threads. While technically both processes yield the same results, the main distinctions between the cut threads and rolled threads bolts reside mostly in the manufacturing process. the burnishing effect of the rolling makes the bolts smoother, while the cold working makes them overall more resilient to damage and harder.

A.1.5 Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang


Cut Threading Leaves Behind Tiny Tears If you were to put two bolts obtained via roll threading and respectively cut threading side by side and analyzed with a magnifying glass, you will notice that the latter presents tiny tear marks. Cut threading tends to tear the material, leaving a set of marks that run perpendicular to the direction of the thread and that travel into the fastener's body. Unfortunately, the minor fractures made by the tool cutting the thread can, and in most cases will, grow over time threatening the bolt's stability. Opposite to the cut threading process, roll threading deforms and cold works the material, thus adding to its innate endurance. Not only does the hardened steel die add to the bolt's resilience and strength, but the process doesn't leave any tears that can later on transform into cracks.

Rolled Thread Bolts Cost Less The main advantage of the cut threaded bolts is that they can be manufactured to all specifications, as there are few limitations with regards to diameter and thread length. Without denying that cut threading could be invaluable for manufacturing special fasteners for sensitive pieces of equipments, let's not forget that the process implies significantly longer labor times and the implicit higher costs. Opting for rolled thread bolts means shorter labor times and substantially lower costs. The lower cost of roll threaded bolts also comes from the smaller body diameter; a smaller body means less weight and consequentially, less materials and resources used for heat-treating, galvanizing, plating, so on and so forth. Moreover, the burnishing effect of the rolling makes the bolts smoother, while the cold working makes them overall more resilient to damage.

Austenitic Grades Austenitic grades are those alloys which are commonly in use for stainless applications. The austenitic grades are not magnetic. The most common austenitic alloys are iron-chromium-nickel steels and are widely known as the 300 series. The austenitic stainless steels, because of their high chromium and nickel content, are the most corrosion resistant of the stainless group providing unusually fine mechanical properties. They cannot be hardened by heat treatment, but can be hardened significantly by cold-working. Straight Grades The straight grades of austenitic stainless steel contain a maximum of .08% carbon. There is a misconception that straight grades contain a minimum of .03% carbon, but the spec does not require this. As long as the material meets the physical requirements of straight grade, there is no minimum carbon requirement.

Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang

http://www.spiusa.com/stainlesssteel_overview.php


Low Carbon Grades The “L” grades are used to provide extra corrosion resistance after welding. The letter “L” after a stainless steel type indicates low carbon (as in 304L). The carbon is kept to .03% or under to avoid carbide precipitation. Carbon in steel when heated to temperatures in what is called the critical range (800 degrees F to 1600 degrees F) precipitates out, combines with the chromium and gathers on the grain boundaries. This deprives the steel of the chromium in solution and promotes corrosion adjacent to the grain boundaries. By controlling the amount of carbon, this is minimized. For weldability, the “L” grades are used. You may ask why all stainless steels are not produced as “L” grades. There are a couple of reasons:  

"L" grades are more expensive Carbon at high temperatures imparts great physical strength

Frequently the mills are buying their raw material in “L” grades, but specifying the physical properties of the straight grade to retain straight grade strength. A case of having your cake and heating it too. This results in the material being dual certified 304/304L; 316/316L, etc. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang

http://www.spiusa.com/stainlesssteel_overview.php


High Carbon Grades The “H” grades contain a minimum of .04% carbon and a maximum of .10% carbon and are designated by the letter “H” after the alloy. People ask for “H” grades primarily when the material will be used at extreme temperatures as the higher carbon helps the material retain strength at extreme temperatures. You may hear the phrase “solution annealing”. This means only that the carbides which may have precipitated (or moved) to the grain boundaries are put back into solution (dispersed) into the matrix of the metal by the annealing process. “L” grades are used where annealing after welding is impractical, such as in the field where pipe and fittings are being welded.

Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang

http://www.spiusa.com/stainlesssteel_overview.php


The alloys listed in Table D.1 can, but do not necessarily, meet the requirements above. In some cases, more restrictive chemistries are required to comply with the requirements of this materials group. See also A.3.1. It is common industry practice to dual certify 300 series stainless steels as standard grade and low carbon grade such as S31600 (316) and S31603 (316L). The environmental limits given for low carbon 300 series stainless steels are acceptable for the dual certified grades. Free-machining austenitic stainless steel products shall not be used.

Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang


Tips To convert parts per million to milligrams per liter, use the conversion factor of 1 ppm = 1 mg/L. This means that 1 part per million is equal to 1 milligram per liter. °F = 9/5 °C + 32 http://www.mathsisfun.com/temperature-conversion.html

1 bar = 14.503773800721814 psig 1 bar = 0.1 Mpa = 100 Kpa https://www.convertunits.com/from/megapascal/to/bar

NOTE Higher values of FPREN provide higher corrosion resistance; however, they also lead to increased risk of sigma- and alphaprime phase formation in the materials’ ferrite phase during manufacture depending on product thickness and achievable quench rate. The ranges of FPREN quoted are typical of those found to minimize the problem of sigma- and alpha-prime phase formation. a No

data submitted to ascertain whether these materials are acceptable for service in the presence of elemental sulfur in the environment. b

A rapid cooling rate is one sufficiently fast to avoid the formation of deleterious phases such as sigma-phase and precipitates. The presence of deleterious phases can reduce the cracking-resistance of duplex stainless steels.

HIP Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process, used to reduce the porosity of metals and increase the density of many ceramic materials. This improves the material's mechanical properties and workability. The HIP process subjects a component to both elevated temperature and isostatic gas pressure in a high pressure containment vessel. The pressurizing gas most widely used is argon. An inert gas is used, so that the material does not chemically react. The chamber is heated, causing the pressure inside the vessel to increase. Many systems use associated gas pumping to achieve the necessary pressure level. Pressure is applied to the material from all directions (hence the term "isostatic"). For processing castings, metal powders can also be turned to compact solids by this method, the inert gas is applied between 7,350 psi (50.7 MPa) and 45,000 psi (310 MPa), with 15,000 psi (100 MPa) being most common. Process soak temperatures range from 900째F (482 째C) for aluminium castings to 2,400째F (1,320 째C) for nickel-based superalloys. When castings are treated with HIP, the simultaneous application of heat and pressure eliminates internal voids and microporosity through a combination of plastic deformation, creep, and diffusion bonding; this process improves fatigue resistance of the component. Primary applications are the reduction of microshrinkage, the consolidation of powder metals, ceramic composites and metal cladding. Hot isostatic pressing is also used as part of a sintering (powder metallurgy) process and for fabrication of metal matrix composites

Hot isostatic pressed (HIP) products Sandvik is a world-leading producer of Enhanced product properties The ability to manufacture HIP products with irregular shapes and complex geometry offers several advantages over castings, forgings and fabricated materials, both in terms of design flexibility and material properties. The fine microstructure and isostatic pressure with which the HIP products are processed result in isotropic mechanical properties, in other words, properties that are equal in all directions. The isotropic properties can contribute to, for example, lighter constructions. Near-net shape (NNS) products produced by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). Sandvik's HIP products are based on powder metallurgy and range from 100 grams to 15 tonnes in weight. They are produced in a wide range of materials, such as:  Austenitic stainless steels  Duplex stainless steels  Martensitic steels  Metal matrix composites (MMC)  Nickel alloys  Titanium Enhanced product properties The ability to manufacture HIP products with irregular shapes and complex geometry offers several advantages over castings, forgings and fabricated materials, both in terms of design flexibility and material properties.
