Garner, N.J. Stead, D.L. Singbeil Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada 3800 Wesbrook Mall Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6S 2L9 ABSTRACT Residual stress was measured in clad and unclad carbon steel digesters before and after stress re- lief anneal. Laboratory measurements were also made on test plates. Stress relief anneal was found to be successful for carbon steel, but only marginally so for austenitic stainless steel cladding. INTRODUCTION The large pressure vessels called digesters are used to cook wood chips in the kraft process. They can be up to 8.2 m diameter x 61 m high (27'dp x 200'). They can be subject to stress corrosion cracking if made from carbon steel (1). To minimise this risk, these digesters are post-weld heat-treated (PWHT) on-site after erection to relieve residual stress. In North America, digesters can also be made partly or fully from 304L roll-clad carbon steel and these too are PWHT. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steels such as 304L or 309L weld deposit are not generally susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in alkaline sulphide kraft: liquors. However, cracking of 304L cladding is known to occur in the vapour phase of kraft digesters (2,3). Direct measurement of residual stress was undertaken during construction of two continuous di- gesters, one clad and one unclad. Stress measurements were also made on full thickness laboratory weldments (4). One of the main objectives was to assess residual stress levels after PW HT of a clad ves- sel.
