Abstract
The combined erosion-corrosion behavior of a group of chromium containing steels was determined. The steels tested are commonly used in energy generation systems such as coal gasifiers and fluidized bed combustors. It was determined that corrosion was the dominant surface degradation mechanism on all of the steels at all test conditions. A change in the scale loss mechanism occurred between the 5Cr and 9Cr steels with the higher chromium steels having a much lower metal loss rate than the 2 1/4 and 5Cr steels. The composition of the scales was not as important as their morphology and thickness in determining metal loss rates.
