Quality Achievement Check Points
Now that you know about the corrosion resistance here’s how you can achieve the quality ideal for this resistance
- Pre production: WPS/ WPQR, with adequate requirements
- Production: Control/ verification of welding parameters.
- QC system of fabricator shall be reviewed by metallurgist/ welding engineer.
- Separate carbon steel and stainless steel in the workshop.
- Ferrite verification of duplex production welds with Ferritescope.
- Control of NDT and pickling process.
And that’s how you make a corrosion resistant scrubber solution. So be careful what the manufacturer supplies you and work in a close relationship with the fuel suppliers and scrubber manufacturers.
That’s all regarding the scrubber corrosion issue.
We will discuss more such issues affecting the shipping community. Stay tuned every Wednesday.
