EFFECTS OF CORROSIVE MEDIUM ON FAILURE OF BOILER STEELS

The rupture of steels in boiler water at high temperatures and pressures is predominantly of the transcrystallite kind, i.e., identical with the rupture observed in the cylinder of h-p boilers under working conditions. The corrosive medium only has an appreciable effect on the resistance of the metal if the tensile stresses exceed the yield point. Hence, for the reliable working of boiler metal, stresses exceeding this limit should not be allowed.
