Abstract
This paper presents the characteristics of the performance of austenitic steel Super 304H and HR3C used for construction of boilers with supercritical and ultra-supercritical steam parameters. Characteristic microstructure images of the examined steels in the as received condition observed with the scanning electron microscope are shown. The method for strength assessment based on abridged creep tests carried out at a temperature higher than the design one is presented on the example of examined steels. It has been demonstrated that the obtained results do not deviate from the values of creep strength determined in long-term creep tests. The maximum difference is ± 20%, which is in compliance with the acceptable scatter band. The presented methodology can be used for verification of creep strength.
