This paper presents three recent example cases of cracking in Grade 91 steel welds in longer-term service in high temperature steam piping systems: two girth butt welds and one trunnion attachment weld. All the cases were in larger diameter hot reheat piping, with the service exposure of the welds ranging from approximately 85,000 to 150,000 hours. Cracking in all cases occurred by creep damage (cavitation and microcracking) in the partially transformed heat-affected zone (PTZ, aka Type IV zone) in the base metal adjacent to the welds. The location and morphology of the cracking are presented for each case along with operating conditions and potential contributors to the cracking, such as system loading, base metal chemical composition, and base metal microstructure.
