Principle of material stress on boiler tubes as a result of corrosion steam and firing side, as well as inner pressure (creep rupture strength)

New laboratory for high temperature corrosion at the Duisburg location

01.12.2011

The commissioning of two experimental set-ups for the simulation of high temperature corrosion processes in power plants has extended the expertise of SZMF Research and Development in Duisburg by a new field of competence in the area of heat resistant steel products.

Currently, state-of-the-art, coal-fired high-performance power plants operate with steam parameters of 600°C und 290 bar at efficiencies of 47 %. In order to be able to achieve an efficiency of 50 % and higher, it is mandatory to increase the steam temperature to approximately 700°C and operating pressure to approximately 350 bar in future power plants. In addition, the application of new technologies such as the Oxyfuel combustion process generates new conditions. more...
