Stress Corrosion Cracking In Heat Exchangers
Premature tube failure is a leading cause of downtime in heat exchangers operating in corrosive environments. Stress corrosion cracking is a common tube failure mode in corrosive environments, impacting any number of tubes in a vessel. While stress corrosion can be difficult to identify in the field, there may be ways to reduce the likelihood of occurrence.
Reducing Scrap and Energy Use with Mechanical Joining
Mechanical joining is a crucial process in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery. It’s used to create a leak-free seal between a tube and a fixed container by expanding the outer diameter of the tube into a series of grooves. This cold working process offers significant sustainability advantages over traditional methods like welding and brazing.
Choosing The Right Mechanical Joining Tool
Mechanical joining is the process of joining a tube to a fixed container, like a flange or fitting. Widely used in applications such as hydraulic fittings, transmission blocks, and fluid lines, it offers a cost-effective alternative to welding or brazing.
Anatomy of A Tube Expander
Tube expanding is a technique used to create a secure connection between a tube and tube sheet, by compressing the outer diameter against a fixed surface. This process ensures a leak-proof joint that is crucial for the proper functioning of heat exchangers and other pressure vessels.
