Examination of Corroded Tubes from the Boilers of the USS EDWARDS (DD-950).

Abstract

Boiler tubes from the USS EDWARDS (DI)-950) have been examined in the laboratory in order to account for a failure after 600-750 hours of steaming. The results of metallographic, x-ray diffraction, and chemical analyses are reported. The probable cause of the rapid attack is suggested.
