API 571-Temper Embrittlement Affected Materials

  1. Temper Embrittlement primarily affects what materials?
    • 2.25Cr-1Mo low alloy steel.
    • 3Cr-1Mo (to a lesser extent).
    • High-strength low alloy Cr-Mo-V rotor steels.
  2. What materials manufactured prior to 1972 may be particularly susceptible to Temper Embrittlement?
    Older generation 2.25Cr-1Mo.
  3. What materials are also susceptible to Temper Embrittlement?
    Some high strength low alloy steels.
  4. What materials are not significantly affected by temper embrittlement, but can have their toughness or high-temperature ductility altered by metallurgical changes promoted by high-temperature damage mechanisms?
    • C-0.5Mo alloy steel
    • 1Cr-0.5Mo alloy steel
    • 1.25Cr-0.5Mo alloy steel
  5. What materials are generally more affected than today’s low-impurity base materials?
    Weld materials.
