Fracture in a steam boiler generator tube
Creators
Description
This study briefly describes the abrupt rupture of a classical heater tube in 15D3 steel (steel rarely used in France). This breakage had occurred after 10 years of service. The authors conclude in a local overheating having provoked an intergranular precipitation, itself triggering a breakage. (Author). 4 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs
