...Nuclear materials ferritic steels stress corrosion cracking crack growth rate high temperature water INTRODUCTION Austenitic stainless steels such as types 304 and 316 are highly susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments, especially at temperatures higher...

... cracking. Ferritic stainless steels are less susceptible to irradiation damage including void swelling. Ferritic stainless steels also offer desirable higher thermal conductivity and lower thermal expansion coefficient. Little is known however about the stress corrosion cracking behavior of ferritic steels...

This study compares corrosion rates from laboratory exposures of synthesis gas and ash at 500°C and 600°C. biomass gasification corrosion ferritic steels boiler tubes INTRODUCTION In the United States, increased emphasis is being put on reducing the use of fossil fuels as well...

... exposure alloying elements ferritic steels austenitic stainless steels nickel-containing alloys INTRODUCTION The goal of increasing efficiency of future coal-fired power plants necessitates the use of materials having strength and corrosion properties which are greatly improved over those more...

...Abstract The use of higher temperatures and higher pressures in steam boilers and turbines allows for increased efficiencies, which increases the amount of energy and decreases the emissions from a given amount of fuel. Extensive development of high strength ferritic steels has occurred...

...The bulk of the practical experience of the interaction of ferritic steels with steam is at temperatures less than 566°C (1050°F) and pressures of less than 177 atm (2,600 psi) or, for units operating at supercritical steam conditions, 238 atm (3,500 psi). In addition, two power plants operated...

... gas mixture at 621 °C. Measurements of mass-loss rate, pit-progression rate, and pit distribution have been utilized to rate alloy performance. carburization ferritic steels iron-nickel-chromium alloys metal dusting nickel-base alloys stainless steels INTRODUCTION The phenomenon termed “metal...

... alloys. Pit depth did not necessarily correlate with area averaged mass change rate. Chromium, silicon and aluminum additions were found to be beneficial in producing an oxide scale which reduced or prevented wastage due to metal dusting. iron-nickel-chromium alloys stainless steels ferritic steels...

... testing field exposure alloying elements ferritic steels austenitic stainless steels nickel alloys INTRODUCTION Increasing demand for electricity is spearheading the construction of new power generating capacities worldwide. ⁽¹⁾ Simultaneously, strong environmental restrictions...
