At December 2007 a leak was observed at second reactor R-4802 collector (2-1/4 Cr - 1 Mo), conveying the effluents to the 3rd furnace F-4803 of Semi-regenerating Platforming unit (Unit 048) of Petit Couronne Refinery – France.

Metallurgical examination shows that cracking was initiated by a localized mechanism known as Creep Type IV at HAZ fine grain zone. Additional constraints produced by rest of refractory blocking also helped with the development of failure.

Actions to avoid small grain size zone were recommended, as to use materials with control of the impurities, use of materials with addition of boron (90 to 130 ppm). Welding procedure was implemented considering pre-heating at 200°C and in terpass temperature up to 250°C and PWHT at 760°C during 1h /inch thickness.

Also inspection actions were taking to assure the quality of repairs and recommendations were implemented in order to modify the design and avoid the blocking of furnace’s tubular elements. Additionally on-site metallurgical examination was included as part of inspection plan.

Key words: Creep Type IV, Furnace, Platforming Unit.
