Wang a a Research Institute of Process Equipment, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, 200237, PR China b Jinan branch, China petrochemical corporation, Jinan 250061, PR China Received 14 April 2004; accepted 8 May 2004Abstract The present work studies the AISI304 weld cracking mechanism of AISI321 austenite stainless steel of flue gas pipe, which served up to 60,000 h at 650–700 C. The performance and microstructure of failed material were characterized by impact test, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that cracks ware caused by embrittlement of weld metal and thermal stress. Needle like r-phase precipitation during service is primarily responsible for significant degradation in mechanical properties and microstructures of weld metal. Needle type r-phase is a severe stress-raiser and plays a role as crack initiator at the interface with matrix. In addition, maximum equivalent stress is about 175 MPa in the elbow which is near to the yield stress of the steel. It is highly possible that a crack will be initiated under above stress condition and will propagate faster along embrittled r-phase. Several approaches should be employed to control r-phase precip- itation in weld. These approaches include: decreasing content of ferrite and M23C6 carbide in weld and selecting Nb added weld wire during welding. 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
