The importance of carburisation resistance upon the service performance of tubes in petrochemical heaters is well known, and the carburisation resistance of alloys used for this purpose is a prime consideration in alloy selection. Indeed, in some applications such as tubes for ethylene production, carburisation resistance ranks in importance with high temperature creep strength.
