Fireside Corrosion of Applied and Modern Superheater-alloys Under Oxy-fuel Conditions

Abstract Operation of oxy-fuel power plants under ultra-supercritical parameters would help to overcome, to a certain extent, efficiency penalties from air separation and CO 2 -compression units. To improve the knowledge on material behavior under oxy-fuel combustion six candidate superheater alloys, varying from martensitic via iron-base austenitic to nickel-base were chosen and exposed at metal temperature of 580 °C and 650 °C to real oxy-fuel combustion conditions in 3MW combustion test rig of Enel and subsequently moved for further tests to laboratory corrosion test set-up at IFK. Exact definition of combustion conditions was based on measurements performed by IFRF
