Besides,certain differences exist between the disassembled spring shim and the original state because the material shows obvious strengthening and hardening characteristics during the initial cycles.Therefore,it should be explicited by the power plant that the installation instructions for new shims are not applicable for the installed ones.Moreover, the used spring shim after service for 10 years is estimated conservatively to serve for at least another 5 years based on the practical operating state, in consequence, the existing maintenance and replacement cycle can be extended to save the overhaul period and economic cost.

The results show that a few big size of aluminum oxide and silicate compound inclusions exist. By improving the purity of molten steel by adopting measures such as “high carbon pulling”, “white slag operation”, “soft blowing” and “protective casting”, the recurrence of punctiform and linear defects disappear.

The chemical composition, microstructure, hardness and fracture morphology of the Cr12MoV steel tool were investigated by means of direct reading spectrometer, metallographic microscope, Rockwell hardness tester, stereo microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the main cause for the early cracking of the tool is the massive eutectic carbides with angled shape existed in the material, and another main cause is the unreasonable design of the screw hole concave platform which causes stress concentration.
