1. Scope:

The scope of this procedure shall apply to the dished ends of delay tank.

2. Purpose:
The purpose of this method is to ensure restoration of corrosion properties due
to carbide precipitation which impairs the corrosion resistance of stainless
steel. It also ensures homogenous micro-structure and uniform mechanical
properties.

3. Test Procedure

 Cleaning: The surface shall be cleaned to remove oil, grease and other
foreign material by chemical/mechanical means.
 Dish ends to be loaded in to the electric furnace
 The charging temperature shall be 300 deg c & temperature shall be
raised from 150 to 200 deg c/ hr.
 Solution annealing shall be carried in electric furnace only. The
Temperature range shall be maintained between 1050 deg C-1080 deg C.
 The temperature shall be slowly increased to 1050 -1080 deg C and
holding at this temperature for 1 hr/inch thickness or minimum 30min
whichever is higher.
 Finally open the furnace door, unload the dishes and immediately carry
quenching.
 Carry out Rapid quenching using dimineralised water until temperature
drops to <300deg C.
