Abstract: There is a whole circle of circumferential cracks in steam-water separator inlet header tee butt weld for a 1 000MW ultra-supercritical unit. Through chemical composition analysis, hardness test, metallographic structure analysis, electron microscope analysis and other experimental methods, the causes of cracks are analyzed.The results show that the reason of reheat crack at weld fusion line is that the welding and heat treatment process is not carried out properly and the structure of tee is unreasonable.Optimizing the structure, welding and heat treatment process of tee can effectively prevent the generation of welding crack of this kind of tee.

Key words: ultra-supercritical, 12Cr1MoV, weld, reheat crack
