The tube sheet of the heat exchanger is made of composite plate with partitions; is heat treatment required? If a report needs to be prepared, what should be taken into consideration?
Thermal treatment of composite materials is difficult to control
The partition for dividing the sections also doesn’t require much material; just use stainless steel
Control welding deformation well, and try to avoid heat treatment...
What else can be used instead of stainless steel? Is there something like a double-layer composite panel?
Good topic: The contradictory aspect of heat treatment – cladding is generally not subjected to heat treatment； Channel boxes have partitions, and heat treatment should be applied to eliminate stresses. Logically, if heat treatment can ensure the performance of the cladding – preventing the risk of delamination or significant deterioration in the stainless steel’s corrosion resistance – then heat treatment for stress relief should still be carried out to achieve the best possible performance.
