Prediction of the time to failure of boiler tubes flawed with localized erosion

Kalu, Ifeanyi Emmanuel; Inglis, Helen Mary; Kok, Schalk (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2023-04)

A failure mechanism prevalent with boiler tubes operating in harsh environmental conditions is localized erosion. The consequence of the erosion mechanism is a substantial reduction of the tube thickness, ultimately leading ...
The sensitivity of failure analysis of boiler tubes to the shape of elliptical external erosion flaws

Kalu, Ifeanyi Emmanuel; Inglis, Helen Mary; Kok, Schalk (Elsevier, 2021-01)

Localized erosion is one of the most common failure mechanisms associated with boiler tubes, driven by impaction of the tube surface by fly ash, soot blowing steam, falling slag or other abrasive substances from the boiler’s ...
