ASME B31.3-2010
F323.4(b)(4) "the advantages of silicon-killed carbon steel
(0.1% silicon minimum) for temperatures above 482°C
(900°F)" can someone please elaborate the aforesaid clause, in contrast with
F323.4(b)(2)" the possible conversion of carbides to graphite
during long time exposure to temperatures above 427°C
(800°F) of carbon steels, plain nickel steel, carbonmanganese

Thanks in advance.
