The most efficient construction materials for boiler water walls and superheaters in steam power plants are ferritic and martensitic steels. In practical operation, tubes are exposed simultaneously to combustion gas and air/steam on their opposite surfaces. The corrosion behavior of ferritic-martensitic steels under such dual atmospheres is nondistinctive and has been investigated in a specially designed test equipment between 500°C and 620°C. The power plant conditions were simulated with a flowing and pressurized (80 bar) combustion gas on the inner side of the tube, which contains water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). On the outer side, tube material was exposed to air. Oxides that formed on the air side under dual atmosphere conditions were significantly different from the oxide scales formed when the alloy was exposed to air only. It is assumed that the anomalous corrosion behavior during the dual atmosphere exposure is due to hydrogen and carbon diffusion through the bulk alloy from the combustion gas side to the air side. Both species are produced when the material reacts with the gas phase. Because of its high diffusivity, hydrogen is thought to affect the corrosion process on the air side from the beginning of the corrosion exposure, whereas carbon reaches the opposite side after a considerably longer time period.
The need for a more efficient coal power plant generation (e.g. oxyfuel technology) results in modified process parameters and enhanced corrosion. 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.
The introduction of carbon capture technology into thermal power plants benefits from combustion of fuel and pure oxygen due to high partial pressures of CO2 in the flue gas. The consumption of energy for carbon capture devices and oxygen production plants has to be compensated by higher efficiencies of the power plant. Consequently IGCC plants with 80 bar reactors and high temperature turbine equipment, boilers with 700 °C steam raising units will be the next generation power plants. All plants have in common locally in the process gas compositions with high CO2 partial pressure and steam. In our test we applied a gas composition with 30% H2O and 70% CO2 an composition in between the water content of coal burned in pure oxygen and Methane-oxygen combustion. Additional gas fractions such as SO2 will be added in coming experiments. In this paper we discuss the attack of our model gas composition on different typical power plant construction steels with chromium contents in the range of 1 to 24%. The test conditions were annealing time up to 1000 h, 80 bar pressure, fast flowing gas and temperatures between 500 and 700°C depending on the maximum working temperature of the individual steel. Dependent on the test parameters and in particular the chromium content the oxide scale growth mechanism, the scale thickness, the scale microstructure and phase sequences differed. In particular we observe the growth of FeO at temperatures lower than 570°C which is the eutectic decomposition temperature in the Oxygen-iron phase diagram. Iron carbides are primarily formed in low alloyed steels near the oxide steel interface. The steels studied containing more then 9% chromium the growth of Fe3O4 and Fe-Cr-Spinel was typical. Co and W influenced the reaction in 9 - 12% Cr-steel. The attrition of Mn and other alloying additions was monitored. In no case a dense and protective Cr2O3 or an other Metal-Cr-oxide layer was observed. The oxide scale thickness increases strongly with temperature and decrease with raising chromium content. Data of oxide scale thickness up to corrosion time of 1000 h will be presented. A model will be presented, which deals with possible reactions paths during the corrosion processes in flowing CO2 and water. The steels can be arranged according the reaction with gas and their alloying elements such as Mn, Co and W. In the test environment the maximum working temperature of the steels decreased 50K compared to working temperature in current power plant environment.
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.
