As the use of waste and biomass increases in a power generation boiler, high temperature corrosion (HTC) problems of boiler heat exchangers are becoming very important. Chlorine of the low-rank fuels is mainly responsible for the HTC issues, which typically occur in the surface of high temperature heat exchanger like a superheater or reheater. In order to mitigate the problem, various approaches have been proposed in terms of design modification, material improvement, fuel pre-treatment and additive utilization. In this study, the current state of research and development focused on the additive method was investigated.

고온플랜트 설비 고온요소의 재질열화 정도를 평가하기 위해서 사용되는 방법 중 입계부식법은 시험절차가 간단하고 실제 플랜트에서의 적용이 용이하여 안전 및 수명진단시에 많이 이용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 오랜 기간 고온에서 사용된 고온$\cdot$고압플랜트의 실기 요소에 입계부식법을 적용하여 재질의 고온에서의 장시간 노출에 의한 인성저하로 발생되는 잔여 수명을 평가한 결과를 제시하였다. (중략)

Fe-22Cr-5AI-X(X=Zr, Y)합금을 1143K, 고온 황화(P$s_{2}$=1.11x$10^{-7}$atm, P$O_{s}$ =3.11x$10^{-20atm}$) 및 황화/산화 (P$s_{2}$=8.31x$10^{-8}$atm, P$O_{s}$ =3.31x$10^{-18atm}$) 환경의 복합가스 분위기에서 1-30시간동안 노출하여 합금표면에 형성된 부식층을 관찰하여 SEM/EDS로 분석하였다. Fe-22Cr-5AI합금은 고온 부식환경에서 부식 생성물의 성장은 포물선법칙을 따르고 주요 성분은 결함이 많고 다공질인 철과 크롬의 황화물[(Fe, Cr)Sx]이므로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다. Zr을 1wt%첨가한 Fe-22Cr-5AI합금의 고온 부식거동은 Y을 1wt%첨가한 합금과 비슷한 거동을 나타내었다. 황화환경에서는 Cr의 선택 황화에 의한 크롬 황화물(CrS)이 생성되고 노출시간의 경과에 따라 (Fe, Cr)Sx나 (Cr, Fe)Sx 등의 황화물의 성장으로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다. 그러나 황화/산화환경에서는 초기에는 알루미늄산화물(A $I_{2}$ $O_{3}$)및 지르코늄산화물(Zr $O_{2}$)등이 생성되어 보호적이었으나 15시간이후 부터 (Fe, Cr)Sx나 (Cr, Fe)Sx 의 황화물의 성장으로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다.

In order to investigate the effects of hot corrosion on the creep rupture properties and creep life of 304 stainless steel being used as tube materials of heavy oil fired boiler, the creep rupture tests were carried out at temperature 630.deg.C, 690.deg.C and 750.deg.C in static air for the specimens with or without coating of double layer corrosives according to the new hot corrosion test method simulating the situation commonly observed on superheater tubes of the actual boiler. The double layer corrosives are 85% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 10% Na$_{2}$So$_{4}$ + 5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the inner layer corrosive being once melted at 900.deg. C and crushed to powder, and 10% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 85% Na$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ +5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the outer layer corrosive. As results, in the specimen coated with the double layer corrosives, the rupture strength was extremely lowered and showed a large difference each other. The rupture ductility also lowered remarkably as a result of the brittle fracture mode due to hot corrosion. These results indicate that hot corrosion could essentially alter the creep fracture mechanism. From the metallographic observation, it was clarified that the rupture life of 304 stainless steel subjected to hot corrosion was chiefly determined by the behavior of the aggressive intergranular penetration of sulfides.des.

The sea of the Korean peninsula has undergone various marine changes, including naval vessels, naval operational aircrafts, air force fighters, coastal airports and airfields. In particular, salt directly affected by the marine environment, equipment operating under a high temperature / high speed as the gas turbine is the high temperature corrosion (Hot Corrosion) caused by sulfur components and salinity of the fuel used. When the height of the demister (air intake) is less than 7 m, the salinity of the salt entering the sea increases and the corrosion increases rapidly. In addition, the weapon systems operating in the East Sea than in the West Sea showed a 17% increase in the corrosion rate due to the relatively high salinity scattered by saline, wind, and wave. In order to minimize the salinity inflow, it should be operated at more than 13 m from the sea to minimize rapid hot corrosion.

가스 터빈, 석유 화학 공장 등에 널리 사용되고 있는 합금들은 IGCC 분위기에서 심각한 부식이 야기된다. 특히 고온에서 가스터빈 재료로 사용되는 초내열 합금 등도 열악한 고온 황화분위기에서는 열악한 내부식성을 보였다. 따라서 이러한 조건에서 견딜 수 있는 재료의 개발이 필요하다. 일반적으로 알려진 내부식성 증가 방법은 내부식성 합금원소 첨가와 재료 표면에 직접 코팅을 하는 방법이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 고온의 $H_2S$ 가스 분위기에서 Pack cementation으로 Al과 Cr 확산코팅 시킨 시편을 이용하여 부식실험을 실시하여 부식 특성을 살펴보았다.

In order to cope with environmental problems and climate change caused by fossil fuels, renewable energy supply is increasing year by year. Currently, waste energy accounts for 60% of renewable energy production. However, waste has a lower calorific value than fossil fuels and contains various harmful substances, which causes serious problems when applied to power generation boilers. In particular, the chlorine in the waste fuel increases slagging and fouling of boiler heat exchangers, leading to a reduction in thermal efficiency and the main cause of high temperature corrosion, lowering facility operation rate and increasing operating cost. In this study, the high temperature corrosion experiments of superheater materials (ASME SA213/ASTM A213 T2, T12 and T22 alloy steel) by alkali chlorides were conducted, and their corrosion characteristics were analyzed by the weight loss method and SEM-EDS. Experiments show that the higher the temperature and chloride content, the more corrosion occurs, and KCl further corrodes the materials compared to NaCl under the same condition. In addition, the higher the chromium content of the material, the better the corrosion resistance to the alkali chlorides.

This paper presents the research results of analyzing the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of three currently commercialized heat exchanger tube materials under actual operating conditions of a biomass power plant. In order to precisely analyze the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of these materials, a high-temperature corrosion evaluation device was installed in the power plant equipment, which allows for adjusting the surface temperature of the heat exchanger tubes. Experiments were conducted for approximately 300 hours under various temperature and operating conditions. In this study, the commercialized heat exchanger tube materials used were SA213T12, SA213T22, and SA213T91 alloys. In order to objectively analyze the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of each material, an international standard-based process to remove corrosion products was applied to obtain the weight change of the specimens, and the average thickness loss and corrosion rate were derived. Thus, the high-temperature corrosion results for each condition were quantitatively compared and analyzed. In addition, in order to increase the reliability of the high-temperature corrosion evaluation method introduced in this study, the surface and cross-sectional corrosion of the specimens were confirmed by using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Based on these analysis results, it was found that the corrosion resistance of the commercial heat exchanger materials increases as the content of chrome and nickel in the composition increases. Additionally, it was found that the corrosion phenomenon is rapidly accelerated as the surface temperature increases. Finally, the replacement period (lifetime) of the heat exchanger tubes under each condition could be inferred through this study.

High temperature - high pressure apparatus was developed to simulate nickel fewite corrosion products which were main compositions of the radioactive crud in the nuclear power plant. Corrosion product similar to the crud was obtained by a tube accumulator system. Nickel alloy (Inconel 690) and carbon steel (SA106 Gr. C) were corroded at 270 $\^{circ}C$ in the corrosion product generator. Ni ions and Fe ions dissolved by corrosion reaction were able to be transported to the accumulator because the crud generation mechanism was the solubility change with temperature. To evaluate the properties of simulated corrosion products, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and EDAX analysis were performed. SEM observation of corrosion product showed the needlelike or crystal structure of oxide depending on precipitating location. The crystal oxide was the nickel ferrite, which was similar to the crud in nuclear power plants.
