i had prepared the design by keeping under the considerations provided by ASME boiler and Pressure vessel code and my adviser has accepted it.
i want to conclude the role of micro structure into my my thesis of final year project. Thats why i had asked sir.
Do Medium carbon steels and HSLA steels are preferred because of their lower cost as compared to stainless steel? And the use of any material especially for boiler is made by keeping under considerations of environment conditions?
i am designing Fire tube Boiler using ASME Boiler and Pressure...
if the water is going to be properly treated before entering into boiler then the effect of corrosion is going to be minimized? is it correct?
what is optimum grain size preferred for shell of boiler?
secondly i couldn't get the micro structure of SA 516 grade 60 or 70 if anyone could help me?
i am working of fire tube boiler. i need to know that SA 516 grade 60 is a medium carbon steel, what sort of characteristics it posses to work correctly under chances of corrosion???
how does normalizing increases the corrosion resistance of this material??
