Case Studies from Industrial Failures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The contribution summarizes some corrosion case studies of the welded steel structures, which happened in Slovakia last years. Features of cracking are illustrated on real cases of breakdowns in the petrochemical industry (SSCC and PTA-SCC of stainless steel), at a cement works (LME of AISI 310 steel due to Ni3S2 attack ), at a gas pipeline (LME caused by remelted Cu) and in the water meters & tubes made of stainless steel (MIC).
