Failure analysis methodology is applied to the principal mechanisms by which boiler tubes fail during service. Several important factors often associated with component failures are deficiency in design, fabrication, operating conditions, unsuitable materials selection, and expended useful life. These factors are of primary consideration. The failure analysis procedure, or methodology for evaluation, is provided in a step by step approach. This includes justification for conducting a failure analysis investigation, developing a logical plan for the investigation to follow, collection of background information, sample removal techniques, on-site inspection, laboratory testing and analysis, and the formulation of final report based on relevant data, analysis, and recommendations. Among the case histories discussed are: fatigue, erosion, short-term overheating, and hydrogen damage.
Keywords: failure analysis, boiler tubes, fatigue, erosion, short-term overheating, hydrogen damage.
