The increase of the operating temperature, a common way to improve combustion efficiency, leads to enhanced corrosion of heat exchange steel tubes in the power plants. Within the framework of the European project “Production of Coatings for New Efficient and Clean Coal Power Plant Materials” (POEMA)", high temperature corrosion protection coatings are now under investigation. Thin porous sol-gel alumina films are promising candidate coating materials. Coatings were prepared by applying boehmite sols on grinded steel P92 and subsequent heat treatments at temperatures up to 650 °C. Thus a porous layer of worm-like particles was formed consisting of nano-crystallites and amorphous alumina. A dense interface with satisfying adhesion resulted from diffusion of chromium and iron ions out of the steel into the porous coating. However, the film locally exhibited some cracks caused by steep edges in the grinded steel surface. An appropriate substrate pretreatment should avoid this problem. The protection of the steel relies on the barrier function of the alumina coating and the formation of a dense chromia layer at the steel surface.

To reach the necessary service life of high temperature parts protective coatings may be a sufficient technical solution. A modified Yoldas sol (Al2O3 based) was used to coat X20CrMoV12-1 by spin coating. After appropriate heat treatments transition alumina coatings being about 400 nm thick were obtained. Oxidation studies were carried out in laboratory air at temperatures up to 650 °C for up to 500 h exposure time. In case of the uncoated sample a rough oxide layer formed on the surface and a remarkable weight gain (2.62 mg/cm²) were detected. The sol–gel alumina layer (mainly δ-Al2O3) demonstrated a high protection, i.e. a very low weight gain (0.05 mg/cm²). Diffusion of alloying elements into the coating was observed. No indication of spallation of the coating occurred. Local defects (2 µm–30 µm) in the coating led to the formation of iron-oxide islands.
