Annexure I

Offer for Repair of Kiln Tyre Crack

DESCRPTION:
Machine : Sponge Iron Rotary Kiln

Part : Kiln Tyre

Primary Problem :

Kilns are vulnerable to thermal shocks, thermal cycling, torsion

stress, compressive loading & even fatigue. This is due to their
size, length, operating characteristics & extreme loading they
endure.

The high fatigue accumulation rate leads to stresses which
eventually turn into cracks. These cracks initially develop under
the surface & propagate through the weaker zone in the original
material such as casting defects.

Also due to ongoing work hardening & associated strengthening of
the tyre surface, defects or cracks initially form almost invariably
below the surface. These defects or cracks propagate unseen until
the cross-sectional area is large enough to weaken the tyre
sufficiently that they cause a sudden & unforeseen break through
the entire section of the tyre.

EXCELLENT FEATURES OF XUPER NUCLEOTEC 2222 FOR KILN

TYRE CRACK REPAIR

1) No need of Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) since tensile

strength & ductility of this product even without PWHT is far
higher than base metal.
2) Tensile strength = 90,000psi
3) Elongation = 45 %
4) Hardness = 170 – 210 BHN
5) Gives highest reliability of repair possible when coupled with
good parent metal interface & skilled execution.
6) The concern of surface hardness degradation is avoided.
7) Even though the cost of this high nickel content electrode is
higher than normal low hydrogen electrode 7018, however the
reliability of repair & downtime savings involved nullifies the
cost.
8) N2222 has coefficient of expansion very similar to that of Kiln
Tyre (low carbon low alloy steel) over a wide temperature range,
 Page ..3..

hence inducing only mild stresses during welding or themal

cycling.
9) N2222 tolerates upto 50% base metal dilution & still retains its
austenitic structure & will not create a weld deposit prone to
embrittlement, due to martensite formation.
10) N2222 the OEM RECCOMENDATION, operates at minimum
possible amperage due frigid arc coating, leading to less stress
inducement in the weld, less Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), low
power consumption, no electrode overheating giving maximum
yield.

OUR SCOPE OF WORK

o A team of Engineers, Expert technicians, Welders & helpers will be

depoted to carry out the complete repair job at your site.
o Supply of adequate gouging Electrode & welding electrode Xuper
660 NH (root run & buffer layer) & Xuper Nucleotec 2222 (build
up) for complete repairing of job.
o Designing special clamps & fixtures before opening of cracks in
kiln tyre.
o Gouging out crack completely by high technology compressed air
gouging & finishing the surface by flexible grinder & angle grinder.
o Preheating the job to a temperature of 300˚C by using induction
coils.
o Maintaining the interpass temperature about 250˚C throughout
the welding & online monitoring.
o Root run & buffer layer cladding by 3.15 mm Xuper 660 NH
electrode & complete build-up by 4.00 mm Xuper Nucleotec 2222.
o Special welding technique to be adopted with the use of pneumatic
peening hammer, pneumatic needle flux remover, vacuum cleaner,
bridge formation & insitu manual grinding to match the profile.
o The entire job to be carried out under the supervision of our
experienced team, having successfully executed three nos kiln tyre
crack repair in last three years.

YOUR SCOPE OF WORK

1) You shall provide 02 nos of welding rectifier of 600 Amps along

with 02 nos of holders & other accessories.
2) Compressor air connection for carbon arc gouging.
3) Oxygen & da cutting set 01 no.
4) Three phase electrical supply.
5) Scaffolding, temporary shade for protection of welding area,
lighting & ventilation arrangement.
6) Accommodation, (boarding & lodging) of our crew members at
your site.
