What is ITP..? And what's sensetization...?

Question

Accepted Answer

ITP stands for Inspection and Test Plan. Sensitization is a process where stainless steel loses its corrosion resistance due to high temperature exposure.

ITP is a document that outlines the inspection and testing requirements for a project.
It includes details on the materials, equipment, and procedures to be used.
Sensitization occurs when chromium carbides form in the grain boundaries of stainless steel, reducing its corrosion resistance.
This can happen during welding or exposure to high temperatures.
Sensitization can be prevented by using low carbon grades of stainless steel or by heat treating the material after welding.
