Dear Mr. AMSNDt,
I did my final project in college about Failure Analysis of Dryer Shell Cracking. The research was done by checking the fracture, test the chemical composition, and simulate the cyclic thermal (Heat Treatment/HT) in the laboratory.
At HT variations (temperature & time), I simulated my specimen by quenching treatment every time after my HT is done. I also took macro & micro photographs, and then counted its boundary size using OPTIMAS 2000 computer program. To check the chemical composition, I used spectrophotometer testing.
Believe it or not... the result is that chemical composition now has different compared to the original one --> I think material selection is not available.
One thing I want sharing in this case of my final project result: HT simulation shows that increasing of thermal cyclic, temperature, and heating time causing reduction of ductility ---> This phenomena known as embrittlement.
Rgrds & God Bless

: Can someone please direct me to a Standard or Practice that clearly states that NDT should be performed after HT processes or does it matter
