Abstract
Studs in the interceptor valve of a 110 MW unit failed after a service life of 148,700 h. The studs were operated under a steam pressure of 35 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 535°C. The studs were fractured at one end of the threaded end. Various techniques were employed to analyse the failure of the studs. It has been concluded that the failure of the studs was due to reverse temper embrittlement. The failure was delayed due to the presence of Mo and V. To reduce the tendency to this kind of failure, the following steps were recommended: (a) reduce the phosphorus content in the steel to a low level or (b) reduce the grain size to about 10 μm.
