Fatigue Failure of Carbon-Molybdenum Steel Boiler Tubes
Tubes in a marine boiler on a new ship failed after brief service lives. Circumferential brittle cracking was found to occur in the carbon-molybdenum steel tubes near the points where the tubes were attached to the steam drum. Fatigue striations were revealed by examination of fracture surfaces by electron microscopy at high magnification.
