보일러 管材料의 크리프破斷特性에 미치는 고온부식의 影響

The Effects of Hot Corrosion on the Creep Rupture Properties of Boiler Tube Material

본 연구에서는 주로 보일러의 과열기 및 재열기등의 관재료로 널리 사용되고 있는 304 스테인레스강에 대하여 실제 고온부식현상을 재현한 부식환경하인 630.deg. C, 690.deg. C 및 750.deg. C 3가지 온도범위에서 크리프시험을 실시하고 고온부식이 크리프파단 특성에 미치는 영향을 부식조건이 없는 고온대기중의 실험결과와 비교 검토하였다.

In order to investigate the effects of hot corrosion on the creep rupture properties and creep life of 304 stainless steel being used as tube materials of heavy oil fired boiler, the creep rupture tests were carried out at temperature 630.deg.C, 690.deg.C and 750.deg.C in static air for the specimens with or without coating of double layer corrosives according to the new hot corrosion test method simulating the situation commonly observed on superheater tubes of the actual boiler. The double layer corrosives are 85% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 10% Na$_{2}$So$_{4}$ + 5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the inner layer corrosive being once melted at 900.deg. C and crushed to powder, and 10% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 85% Na$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ +5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the outer layer corrosive. As results, in the specimen coated with the double layer corrosives, the rupture strength was extremely lowered and showed a large difference each other. The rupture ductility also lowered remarkably as a result of the brittle fracture mode due to hot corrosion. These results indicate that hot corrosion could essentially alter the creep fracture mechanism. From the metallographic observation, it was clarified that the rupture life of 304 stainless steel subjected to hot corrosion was chiefly determined by the behavior of the aggressive intergranular penetration of sulfides.des.
