Hi experts,
As per API 660, A.4.4.2,
"Where work hardening of the tube material during rolling could result in the potential for environmental
cracking, a strength-welded tube-to-tubesheet joint should be applied, and a light expansion (1 % to 3 % wall
reduction) should be applied (as per A4.4.1) if crevice corrosion from the shell side fluid is a concern".
Is Inconel 625 tubes the work hardening of tube material?
Thanks
