Abstract
The rupture of a boiler pipe was studied by using chemical analysis, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results show that excess temperature caused by obstruction of stream flow was associated with the bubble clusters on the bore surface, which resulted in the creep deformation responsible for elongated grains and wall thinning. The pipe burst because the high temperature strength was below the designed standard.
