Current state of development of advanced pipe and tube materials in Germany and Europe for power plant components

摘要

New power plants with improved thermal efficiency require the use of advanced materials that possess adequate creep rupture strength at increased steam temperatures and pressures. For that purpose new materials, the steels E 911 and7CrMoVTiB10-10, have been developed for steam pipework and boilers. They are being validated within the frameworks of large national and international research projects
