Abstract

AbstractThe oxidation behavior of Super 304 H, Sanicro 25, HR3C and HR6W steels, which are recommended for use in ultra-supercritical power plants, as well as corrosion resistant X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel was studied in this work. Oxidation tests were carried out under thermal shock conditions in an oxygen-rich environment (containing 50 vol. % water vapor) at a temperature equal to 750 °C. The investigated steels (excluding X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel) are characterized by good oxidation resistance under thermal shock conditions. A highly protective Cr2O3 layer was formed in the internal part of scales growing on the surfaces of investigated steels. The X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel has worse oxidation resistant properties than the other grades of steels.
