Failure Analysis of Type 316 Stainless Steel Expansion Joint Bellows
Two 316 stainless steel expansion joints that leaked during service in an emulsifier plant were examined . The two joints were located up- and downstream of a glasslined reactor that was cycling a process stream containing lubricant additive precursors , and operating at 7 psig , between ambient temperature and 400 ° F . The objective of the lab analysis was to locate and determine the cause of the leak in the expansion joints . Visual examination , metallography , SEM microscopy , EDS analysis , and OES chemical analysis were performed . The results indicated that the expansion bellows cracked from chloride stress corrosion cracking that originated on the inside surface .
