The high-temperature sulfur corrosion resistance of S30432 and TP310HCbN typically used in the superheater and reheater of a 620°C ultra-supercritical boiler is investigated in this study. Samples coated with coal ash are placed in a device filled with simulated flue gas at 650°C and 700°C, respectively, for 2000 h. The samples are then analyzed through X-ray diffraction, scanning
In this study, the resistance of S30432 to low-alkali coal ash corrosion in a high-efficiency USC boiler was investigated. Currently, S30432 is widely used in the high-temperature superheater and reheater of boilers burning low-alkali and high-sulfur coal. During the experiment, S30432 coated with low-alkali coal ash were fixed in a high-temperature tubular reactor, and hot gas at 650 °C and 700 °C containing SO2 passed over the specimens for 2000 h. Then the specimens were tested by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. It was found that S30432 specimens mainly underwent high-temperature oxidation. For the gas temperature of 700 °C and SO2 volume concentration of 0.35 %, the sulfidation reaction occurred and the weight change was only 1.08 mg cm−2. The results show that there is no obvious high-temperature corrosion after three years of operation of a 700 MW 620 °C boiler. The results are in contrast with the high-alkali coal ash corrosion resistance of S30432. It is concluded that S30432 can meet the requirements of a high-efficiency USC boiler burning low-alkali and high-sulfur coal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
