The combustion of coal in CO2-reduced Oxyfuel power plants requires creep resistant and corrosion
resistant materials, which can withstand high temperatures up to 600°C and CO2 rich atmospheres.
Among the heat resistant materials, the 9-12% chromium steels are proven to resist high wall
temperatures in conventional power plants and are suitable as membrane wall, superheaters and steam
piping.
During Oxyfuel combustion a flue gas is generated, which consists mainly of H2O (30 mol %) and
CO2 (70 mol %). The present paper is focused on the corrosion of 9-12% chromium steels under
oxyfuel conditions in a temperature range between 550 and 625°C.
Depending on Chromium content of the 9-12%chromium steels, carburization of the base material,
perlite formation and carbide formation were observed. Alloys with lower chromium content form a
non protective oxide scale with perlite at the scale-alloy interface. Steels with 12% chromium have a
small growing oxide scale with enlarged M23C6-particles at the scale-alloy interface. The carburization
of the base material is found to be increased for the 9% Cr-steel. Higher pressure of the flue gas results
in the formation of less resistant scales and cause accelerated carburization of the base materials.
However, the carburization has an impact on the mechanical properties at the surface and leads to an
embrittlement, which is deleterious during thermal cycling.
Oxidation kinetics, phase analysis of the scale (transmission electron microscope) and carburization
depths (microprobe) of the base materials are presented.
