Effect of reconditioning heat treatment on the structure and service properties of steam pipeline metal

  • RECONDITIONING HEAT TREATMENT
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The structure and properties of the metal of steam pipeline bends from Cr – Mo – V steels after operation and reconditioning heat treatment are considered. The expediency of such treatment is correlated with the size of the pores arising in operation of the pipeline under conditions of creep.
