Structural Integrity Analysis On Superheater Material Of Plt Surabaya

Structural integrity analysis on superheater material of PLTU Suralaya has been carried out. Tested material was carbon steel SA 209 T1A and ferritic steel SA 213 T2 based on data specification from PLTU Suralaya. All stages in analysis include collection of operation history background and material specification, visual examination, radiography testing, chemical composition testing, hardness testing and metallography testing. From analysis and testing results, it is shown that material suffered from decarburization on outside surface (00), hardness decrease and pitting corrosion on 00 surface. Primary cause of pipe failure is decarburization due to carbon element inside material that diffuses from inside to OD surface so that microstructure is only pure ferrite
