ABSTRACT

Abstract
A skirt-to-shell attachment of a coke drum experience severe thermal cyclic stresses, which cause failures due to low cycle fatigue. Various skirt attachment designs, therefore, have been proposed and implemented. A design where the skirt is attached by a weld build-up is most commonly used. A design where the skirt is attached to the drum shell by utilizing an integral machined plate or forging has been utilized in several projects. One of the advantages of the integral skirt attachment is that a large inner radius can be formed which allows reducing stress concentration compared with the weld build-up design. This advantage can be confirmed easily by FE-analysis in recent years [1] [2] [3]. Another major advantage of the integral skirt attachment is that the area of highest stress intensity is located at the base metal section, not at the weld metal or the heat affected zone which are generally thought to have lower fatigue strength. The fatigue design curve from ASME Section VIII Division 2 [9] is based on fatigue tests for the base metal. It is necessary to reveal differences of fatigue strength among these metals. This paper describes a comparison of fatigue strength of three metals: i) base metal ii) weld metal iii) heat affected zone provided by the low cycle fatigue test for 1 1/4Cr-1/2Mo materials. Our results indicate that the fatigue life of the base metal is about twice as long as that of the weld metal and about three times as long as the heat affected zone. Accordingly, the integral skirt attachment is more resistant to cracking than its welded counterpart from a fatigue strength viewpoint. 2011 ASME Topics: Metals, Coke, Fatigue strength, Shells
