Oxidation and Coatings for Power Generation： New Super Ultra Critical Steam Turbines

摘要

The steels with chromium contents between 9%and 12%wt are used for power plants with advanced steam oxidation conditions.They present good creep properties as 9%Cr steels and good oxidation resistance,at the temperatures range between 500℃～600℃.In the last years numerous investigation in development of coatings has been realized with the aim the protected them against the oxidation in order to allow operation of steam turbines at 650℃.In this study,Al-Hf protective coatings were deposited by CVD-FBR on ferritic steel HCM-12A followed by a diffusion heat treatment,have shown to be protective at 650℃under steam for at least 3000 hours of laboratory steam exposure under atmospheric pressure.Morphology and composition of coatings were characterized by different techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron probe microanalysis,and X-ray diffraction(XRD). On the other hand,volatile species by mass spectrometry(MS) and thermogravimetric measurements (TG) during the initial stages oxidation of the P92 ferritic steel without and of Al and Al/Si coating by chemical vapour deposition in fluidized bed reactors(CVD-FBR) at 650℃in Ar+20%H_2O for 150 h were studied.In order to go forward to coatings design the Thermocalc code is used as base for the MSdata. TG-MS experiments were conducted in a closed steam loop in order to obtain information about the oxyhydroxides formation as reaction between coatings and steam.From those results the role of the different coating element could be established and optimized for the coating durability.An oxidation mechanism based on the TG-MS results is given.The morphology/composition and structure of the oxidized samples were also studied using SEM/EDS and XRD techniques.
