Corrosion behavior of various steels in the simulated fluidized bed boiler environment

The corrosion behavior of various austenitic stainless steels and high-alloy steels has been studied in simulated fluidized bed boiler environment to develop a new corrosion resistant austenitic stainless steel for the superheater tube. The superheater is usually not installed within the bed position, which is different from the evaporator installed within the bed position. Therefore, the superheater tubes are exposed to an oxidizing environment; but it is also necessary to estimate the corrosion resistance of the steels in a reducing environment. It is already known that the high temperature corrosion behavior in conditions where CaSO₄ is coated on the steels is more important than the erosion of the superheater tubes. The main results in this present study are as follows: The Nb bearing steels and low C steels showed good resistance to high-temperature corrosion in CaSO₄/CaO, e.g. 347, 304L and HR3C. The corrosion rate of all steels used increased with increase in temperature, particularly at temperatures higher than 650°C. Internal penetration was not detected at temperatures lower than 550°C, but it was detected at temperatures higher than 600°C, in particular, higher than 650°C. The corrosion thickness loss was almost the same as the internal penetration depth at 700 and 750°C in the 300 series steels placed in CaSO₄/CaO, including the fine grained 347 steel, while the internal penetration depth was larger than the corrosion thickness loss in high-alloyed materials such as Alloy 800 and 310 steels. At temperatures higher than 800°C, the same result was also obtained for the fine grained 347 steel. The corrosion during exposure to oxidizing or reducing gases without CaSO₄/CaO or CaS was slight, but when the test specimens were placed in CaSO₄/CaO or CaS, the corrosion rate sharply increased, regardless of the atmospheric gas composition. Cr, Si, Mn (less than 5 %), Mo and Nb are beneficial elements while C, Cu and Al are harmful elements. From the above results, the following steel was developed for high temperature corrosion resistance in CaSO₄/CaO: low C-22/25Cr-17/25Ni-3/5Mn-(2Mo)-Nb-0.08/0.2N-Al-(B).     

Formation of Si diffusion layer on stainless steels and their high temperature corrosion resistance in molten salt

The surface alloying of Si into SUS430 and SUS304 stainless steels was achieved by a pack-cementation method. A high-temperature corrosion test was undertaken under a corrosive ash in a high-temperature gas, which simulated the environment of a waste incinerator. The effect of the surface alloying of Si on the high temperature corrosion resistance of these stainless steels was examined. The result of the corrosion test showed that the corrosion mass loss of the siliconized stainless steel was lower than that of non-treated stainless steel. It was thought that the high temperature corrosion resistance in the corrosive ash containing large amounts of molten salt was improved by the surface alloying of Si. The change in corrosion loss with test time in the corrosive ash was also examined. The corrosion loss of the non-treated stainless steels rapidly increased. On the other hand, the corrosion rate of the siliconized stainless steels was small.It was found from the observation and EPMA analysis of a cross-section of the specimen after the corrosion test that, for the non-treated stainless steels, the metallic elements were dissolved into the molten salt. On the other hand, for the siliconized stainless steels, a scale consisting of silicon oxide was formed on the steels. As a result, the dissolved metallic elements were small.The electrochemical studies indicated that there was an effect of the surface alloying of Si on the hot corrosion resistance of the stainless steels. Hence, the corrosion potentials of the siliconized steels were higher than those of the non-treated steels. The increase in the anodic current densities for the siliconized steels was smaller than that for the non-treated steels. It was thought that the electrochemical corrosion reaction was difficult to occur due to the surface alloying of Si into the stainless steels.     

Resistance of Mo-bearing stainless steels and Mo-bearing stainless-steel coating to naphthenic acid corrosion and erosion-corrosion

Naphthenic acid corrosion (NAC) and erosion-corrosion (NAEC) behavior of Mo-bearing (0-7.0 wt.%) stainless steels have been investigated in laboratory to evaluate the essential role of Mo on their NAC and NAEC resistance. The NAC and NAEC resistance of a high-velocity-oxygen-fuel (HVOF) thermal sprayed Mo-bearing stainless-steel coating was also investigated in both laboratory and an oil refinery. It was found that increasing the Mo content remarkably enhanced the NAC and NAEC resistance of stainless steels. The Mo-rich areas or phases in the steels played an importance role in resisting the NAEC. The HVOF coating showed excellent NAC and NAEC resistance in laboratory tests. The 700-day field test in an oil refinery revealed that the coating can effectively prevent the carbon-steel substrate from erosion-corrosion during long-term exposure in oil-refining environment. The corresponding NAC and NAEC mechanisms of the stainless steels and the beneficial role of Mo were discussed by taking account of inherent susceptibility of metal elements to corrosion, possible effects of Mo on surface films, and Mo-induced change in microstructure and microhardness.     

Laboratory corrosion tests for simulating fireside wastage of superheater materials in waste incinerators

Laboratory corrosion tests were performed to clarify the effects of relative amounts of fused salts in tube deposits on corrosion rates of superheater materials in WTE plants. All test exposures were at 550 °C and of 100 h duration. The nine synthetic ashes used as corrodents consisted of mixtures of chlorides, sulfates and oxides. The test materials were alloy steel T22, stainless steels TP347H, TP310HCbN, and alloys HR11N and 625. The gas atmosphere consisted of 500 to 3000 ppm HCl‐30 ppm SO₂‐10% O₂‐10% CO₂‐20% H₂O‐bal.N₂. Generally, the relative amount of fused salts in non‐fused ash constituents at 550 °C increased with increasing the chlorine content of the ashes. The corrosion rate of T22 steel did not depend directly on ash chlorine content, but for ashes of 7.7 wt.% Cl, the corrosion rate depended on the calculated amount of fused salt at 500 °C. The corrosion rates of TP347H steel and alloy 625 were maximum for ashes of 6–8 wt.% Cl. For ashes of 7.7 wt.% Cl, the corrosion rates of T22 steel, stainless steels, and alloys increased with ashes having higher amounts of fused salts. Increased HCl content of the gas caused higher corrosion of the stainless steels and high‐nickel alloys, but there was no clear corrosion‐exacerbating effect with T22 steel.

Effect of hot corrosion on the creep properties of types 321 and 347 stainless steels

Problems caused by hot corrosion and creep damage on superheater and reheater tubes of power plants using heavy oil as fuel inhibit the continuous service of the boilers and shorten their design lives. The acceleration of hot corrosion attack of boilers is caused by the presence of fuel ash deposits containing V, Na, and S, in the form of Na₂SO₄ and V₂O₅, which form low melting point phases. In addition to this, the tubes are exposed to the action of both high stresses and high temperatures, producing a continuous plastic deformation of the tube walls called creep damage. Creep rupture tests were carried out in the temperature range 620 to 670 °C in static air in the presence of corrosive environments using 321H and 347H type stainless steels used in superheater and reheater tubes under hot corrosion and creep environments. The corrosive environment includes synthetic Na₂SO₄, V₂O₅, and the mixture 80% V₂O₅-20%Na₂SO₄. Also, the role of the different elements present in the environments on corrosion was investigated using electronic microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques.

Effect of Ni and Mn on the Mechanical Properties of 22Cr Microduplex Stainless Steel

The tensile properties of 22Cr–2Ni–4Mn–0.2N micro-duplex stainless steels with different Ni and Mn contents were investigated. Duplex stainless steels were vacuum induction melted and hot rolled, then annealed at 1,000–1,100 °C, at which temperature both the austenite and ferrite phases were stable. The volume fraction of the ferrite phase was markedly affected by the alloying elements of Mn and Ni; 1 wt% of Mn was equivalent to 0.4 wt% of Ni. All of the steels tested at room temperature showed the common strain-hardening behavior, while the steels tested at lower temperatures(-30 or-50 °C)showed a distinct inflection point in their stress–strain curves, which resulted from the transformation of the austenite to straininduced martensite. The onset strain(e0) of the inflection point in the stress–strain curve depended on the Md30 value of the steel. Testing at lower temperatures resulted in smaller e0 and consequently higher strengths and fracture strains(ef). The tensile behavior was examined from the perspective of austenite stability of the micro-duplex stainless steels with the different Ni and Mn contents.     

Fireside Corrosion of Superheater Materials in Coal/Biomass Co-fired Advanced Power Plants

A series of laboratory-based fireside corrosion exposures were conducted to assess the effect of such conditions on superheater/reheater materials at higher than conventional metal temperatures. Controlled atmosphere furnaces combined with the “deposit recoat” test method were used to generate the exposure conditions; the gaseous environment simulated that anticipated from air-firing 20 wt% cereal co-product mixed with a UK coal. The exposures were carried out at 600, 650 and 700 °C with four candidate materials: T92, HR3C and 347HFG steels; nickel-based alloy 625. After the exposures, the samples were examined by SEM/EDX to characterize the damage. Pre- and post-exposure dimensional metrology were used to quantify the metal damage in terms of metal loss distributions. For the austenitic steels, the combined deposit/gas/temperature exposure conditions enabled quantification of the characteristic ‘bell-shaped’ curves (of damage as a function of temperature) for fireside corrosion.

Corrosion behavior of coated steels and Mn‐ and Co‐alloyed steels for separator materials on the cathode side in molten carbonate fuel cells

The corrosion behavior and the electrical resistivity of the oxide scale that forms on alternative materials for bipolar plates in molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were investigated. Commercial stainless steels (SS) containing cobalt (Haynes 556) and manganese (Nitronic 30, Nitronic 50, and Nitronic 60) were tested under cathodic MCFC conditions Additionally, 316L SS coated with cobalt by thermal spraying was studied. Oxide‐scale resistivity measurements were coupled with observations of microstructural/compositional changes over time. All tested materials formed multilayered oxide scales. The composition of these phases was the key factor in determining the interfacial electrical resistivity. The high cobalt content of Haynes 556 (18 wt%) did not decrease its electrical resistivity or improve its corrosion resistance. Thus, Co‐containing stainless steels, such as Haynes 556, do not appear to be candidate bipolar plate materials for MCFCs. In contrast, the cobalt coating on 316L SS did lead to improved corrosion resistance. The Nitronic alloys formed Mn‐containing oxide scales, which appear to have a beneficial effect on lowering the resistivity of the oxide scale. The corrosion resistance of these Mn‐containing stainless steels was greater than that of 316L SS, the present bipolar plate material.

Microstructure and stress corrosion cracking in simulated heat-affected zones of duplex stainless steels

The effects of nitrogen content and the cooling rate on the reformation of austenite in the Gleeble simulated heat-affected zone (HAZ) of 2205 duplex stainless steels (DSSs) were investigated. The variation of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior in the HAZ of 40 wt% CaCl₂ solution at 100 °C was also studied. Grain boundary austenite (GBA), Widmanstatten austenite (WA), intergranular austenite (IGA) and partially transformed austenite (PTA) were present in the HAZ. The types and amounts of these reformed austenites varied with the cooling rate and nitrogen content in the DSS. U-bend tests revealed that pitting corrosion and selective dissolution might assist the crack initiation, while the types and amounts of reformed austenite in the HAZ affected the mode of crack propagation. The presence of GBA was found to promote the occurrence of intergranular stress corrosion cracking. WA, IGA and PTA were found to exhibit a beneficial effect on SCC resistance by deviating the crack propagation path.

Electrochemical synthesis of ferritic stainless steels alloyed with 1 wt-%Ti,V and Nb in sulphuric acid solution

Abstract

Corrosion behaviours of stainless steel alloys containing corrosion resistant elements were investigated. Ferritic stainless steel electrodes were synthesised by the application of a scan rate of 1 mV s^–1. Stainless steels were unalloyed and alloyed with approximate 1 wt-% Ti, V and Nb elements. The samples were obtained from casting and forging. The steels were exposed to different heat treatments. Heat treatment was not applied to the first group of samples. The second and the third group of samples were rapidly cooled after annealing at 1100°C for 30 and 180 min respectively. The corrosion performances of ferritic stainless steels were investigated in 0·1 M H₂SO₄ solution, by use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations were performed. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed generalised pitting on the surface. Corrosion resistance was calculated by Stearn-Geary equation. It was determined that titanium has the best effect on the corrosion resistance of ferritic stainless steels homogenised for 180 min.
