Heat resistant material
Heat resistant material
(OP)
Hi, currently the diesel fired burner tubes inside our furnace seem to have deformed, and looked as if it has degraded away. The tube end looks like a flower, with its edge sharpened. The material is stainless steel 310, as provided by the supplier.
Is 310ss a suitable material? Could the deformation due to creep? What would the alternative materials be, if cost would be a factor?

RE: Heat resistant material
What type of furnace? What are the service conditions for the 310 ss tube material - meaning what flows on the inside of the tubes what environment is on the OD surface of the tubes?
From what you described it could be high temperature corrosion damage. How long have the tubes been in service? What type of diesel fuel do you burn?
RE: Heat resistant material
I've talked to some suppliers, and I was told that 314ss could replace the 310. Is that true?

yes, we do find large bulk of carbon deposition at the nozzle surrounding. We've tried to install filters for the diesel, but yet to see any improvements. Proprietary alloy..such as 310L?
