    Do Not Use Galvanized Scaffolding or Marking Pens Containing Zinc Inside Firebox

    Uploaded by

    Galvanized scaffolding and marking pens containing zinc should not be used inside fireboxes containing stainless steel tubes, as the heat inside fireboxes can melt metals like zinc and allow them to penetrate the grain boundaries of the steel through a process called Liquid Metal Embrittlement. Specific metal combinations like 300 series stainless steel with zinc, copper alloys with mercury, or mercury with aluminum alloys or high-strength steels are susceptible to Liquid Metal Embrittlement inside fireboxes due to the fireboxes providing adequate temperature to melt metals with low melting points.

    DO NOT USE GALVANIZED SCAFFOLDING OR MARKING PENS CONTAINING ZINC INSIDE FIREBOX

    It is prohibited to use marking pens containing zinc and galvanized or aluminum scaffolding inside
    the fireboxes containing Austenetic stainless steel tubes. This is to avoid Liquid Metal Embrittlement
    (LME) where molten metal penetrates the grain boundaries of the steel. Fireboxes provide adequate
    temperature for these metals to molten since they have relativity low melting points.

    LME occurs in very specific combinations of metals, typical combinations are listed below:

    300 Series SS >>>>>

    Zinc Copper Alloys >>>>

    Mercury Alloy 400 >>>>

    Mercury Aluminum Alloys >>>>

    Mercury High Strength Steels >>>>

    Cadmium,

    Lead Source: API RP 573 - Para 6.1.8 API RP 571 - Para 4.5.5
