Caracterização das fases presentes em depósito de níquel ER-NiCrMo-3 em tubos de aço de 9Cr 1Mo usados em fornos de refinaria de petróleo

Abstract

This work studies the phases present in Inconel 625 weld used to join tubes of a coil of furnace oil refinery, made ​​of alloy steel material type 9Cr-1mo and lined with aluminum. For the study was made ​​a test dee body in accordance with the manufacturing procedures of the tubular coil of the furnace. Samples of the weld were cut and subjected to microhardness tests, studies of variation of chemical composition by SDS evaluation phase diffraction X-ray diffraction technique, and backscattered electrons (EBSD) as well as details of the microstructure was observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results show the probable presence of carbides of Ti, Nb and Laves phase in Inconel 625 weld. The amount of Laves phase in the coating is greater than Inconel the root pass. It was also observed discontinuities and defects. One of these defects was located at the interface between the Inconel 625 and the first electrode pass AWS E-505 in rich region probably Laves phase precipitate. The results indicate the need for better assessment of the welding process, including a study of the behavior of Inconel 625 in the temperature of the furnace between 500 ° and 700 ° C.
