Abstract

Substantial part of equipment in gas-treating plants for removal of acidic impurities in oil and gas refineries needs repair, for which purpose austenitic sleeves are often used. Austenitic surfacing nickel alloys recommended for restoring the damaged surface by overlaying welding was found to be unsuitable because both the deposited material and the fusion line with the base metal are electrochemically heterogeneous, which makes repaired apparatuses insufficiently reliable. Use of sleeves is also inexpedient.
