Abstract

ABSTRACT Hydrogen fluoride (HF) corrosion of boiler water-cooled wall pipes at high temperature hinders the co-disposal of fluorinated hazardous wastes and coal by combustion. In this paper, common water-cooled wall pipes (15CrMoG and 20G) were utilized to perform gaseous HF corrosion experiments at high temperature on a horizontal tube furnace. The effects of temperature on HF corrosion of different water-cooled wall pipes in 0.2% HF were investigated. Corrosion kinetics curve was obtained by calculating the mass increase due to corrosion. The microscopic morphology and physical phase composition of water-cooled wall pipes after HF corrosion were analyzed. The corrosion resistances of the two water-cooled wall pipes decrease with increasing the temperature. The corrosion weight gain curves of 15CrMoG and 20G at 550 ℃ are ΔW 1.9144 = 0.2100t and ΔW 1.8356 = 0.1344t, respectively. The average corrosion rates of 15CrMoG and 20G are 0.0177 and 0.0125 mg/(cm2·h), respectively. The corrosion resistance of 15CrMoG is superior compared to 20G. The HF corrosion at high temperature consists of non-alternating fluorination and oxidation of the metal matrix. This study is of great significance for the protection of boilers with HF corrosion at high temperature.
