Abstract The boiler's economizer was found to be inefficient. Corrosion is suspected to be the source of the economizer's pressure reduction. The examinations included visual inspection, stereomicroscope, metallography, elemental microanalysis by EDS, and chemical composition analysis. The economizer failed due to a weld crater caused by improper welding, which induced residual welding stress. The slight sulfur content of the condensed or flue gas that causes rusting on the economizer's outer cover is not considered a severe failure issue. Material SUS304 stainless steel is the right selection for economizer materials.
