Description
Patented Sept. 10, 1935 I UNITED srA'rEs PATENT OF ICE APPARATUS FOR CRACKING muocaanous Hermann Josef Schifller, Dusseldorf, Germany, assignor to the firm Vereinigte Stahlwerke Aktiengesellschaft, Dusseldorf, Germany No Drawing. Application August 19, 1931, Serial No. 558,189. In Germany August 27, 1930 2 Claims. (Cl. 196-133) It has been the practice in processes for crackum for raising the resistance to corrosion. The ing hydrocarbon liquids to employ high pressures .following steel alloys are given as samples comand temperatures with a view tosecure high bined according to the invention:

Thetemperatures employed in such v v 5 cracking processes are partly above the scaling ,SteelNo. Mn Cr Al Mo Ti limit of ordinary materials employed for those parts of cracking apparatus subjected to high pressures and temperatures, such as soft carbon- 4 )0 steels.

Furthermore the material employed must be highly resistant to chemicals, as both crude oils When temperatures are employed which lie above I and tarry residues commonly contain sulphur the scaling limit it is not necessary-to consider 15 compounds (in relatively large quantities) to v not only a high hot tensile limit, but also to take which some steels are highly sensitive.- into account the necessary resistance to seal- In order to reach the degree of resistance re- 'i 11? has been found y the applicant h quired in the parts of apparatus that are subthe alloys that satisfy these requirements are jected to high pressures and temperatures, althose whose chromium content lies between 5% go I loyed steels are employed, among them being and 8%, and whose aluminium content lies bechromium-nickel-steel.

. Experiments carried out by theapplicant have Thus according to the invention the cracking demonstrated that the parts of apparatus used 4 of hydrocarbon liquids is efiected in an apparatus for cracking hydrocarbon liquids, when made of in which the parts subjected to high temperasteel alloys are suitable when the metal contains tures and pressures are made of steel alloys which a substantial proportion of chromium-andis subwhile they contain chromium do not contain stantially free from nickel.
