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
simultaneously exposed to combustion gas and air/steam on their opposite surfaces. The
corrosion behaviour of ferritic-martensitic steels under such dual atmospheres is nondistinctive
and has therefore been investigated in a special designed test equipment between 500 and
620°C. The power plant conditions were simulated wi th a flowing and pressurised (80 bar)
combustion gas on the inner side of the tube which mainly consists of H2O and/or CO2. On the
outer side, the tube material was exposed to air. It was discovered that under similar
temperatures the oxides formed on the air side under dual atmosphere conditions were
significantly different to the oxide scales formed when the alloy was exposed to air only. It is
assumed that the anomalous corrosion behaviour during the dual atmosphere exposure is due
to the hydrogen transport through the bulk alloy from the combustion gas side to the air side.
Meteorites are a unique and inspiring material for microstructural studies because if their very specific genesis. Iron meteorites have been formed under unimaginable cooling rates of a few ten Kelvins per million years so that the observable transformation of the formerly huge Fe-Ni single crystals of taenite occurred under nearly-equilibrium conditions. Octahedrites (meteorites having a Ni content between 6...15%) are characterized by ribbons of the low-temperature Fe-Ni phase kamacite separated by rims of residual taenite. This very specific feature is known as Widmanstaetten structure and has been investigated by synchrotron radiation in order to cover a higher volume fraction for a statistically relevant description of orientation relationships. However, plessite – a microstructure mainly consisting of the same phases – reflects the orientation relationship between kamacite and taenite as well. For their characterization, a scanning electron microscope is very suitable in order to investigate crystal orientations or identify phases. Despite the apparently ideal formation circumstances of iron meteorites, Ni concentration profiles prove non-equilibrium conditions. Combined EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) and EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) measurements at a selected plessitic region of the Cape York iron shows that a correlation exists between Ni-concentration and the locally detected orientation relationship.
