Small studs, big impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Change in stud welding material saves power plant millions<\/p>\n

Stud welding, an often-overlooked process, can have a significant effect on the life-cycle cost of a product.<\/em><\/p>\n

In coal-fired power plants, so much relies on the little things. Smooth, cylindrical studs 3\/8 inch in diameter by \u00be in. long are placed in furnaces operating at 1,600 degrees F or more. The studs transfer heat from the hot side (the furnace) into the boiler tube.<\/p>\n

A refractory coating, which protects the tubes from erosion, is applied over the studs. As the stud wears, so does the refractory coating. At some point the studs become so short that the furnace has to be shut down, the studs rewelded, and the refractory coating reapplied.<\/p>\n

For decades plants have used 430 stainless steel studs, a material that has to be replaced about every 12 months. This can be an expensive endeavor, especially if unplanned.<\/p>\n
