Title: Evaluation and Characterization of Iron- and Nickel-Based Alloys for Microturbine Recuperators

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1003180

The effects of stress, temperature and time of exposure to microturbine exhaust gases on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of alloys HR-120(reg. sign) and 230(reg. sign) was investigated at turbine exhaust temperatures between 620 C and 760 C. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength and ductility of alloy 230(reg. sign) decreased by 30% and 60%, respectively, after 500 hours exposure at 752 C. At the lowest exposure temperature of 679 C the ultimate tensile strength and ductility decreased by 10% and 25%, respectively. The ultimate tensile strength and ductility of HR-120(reg. sign) alloy decreased by 15% and 50%, respectively, after 500 hours exposure at 745 C. At the lowest exposure temperature of 632 C the ultimate tensile strength and ductility decreased by 10% and 23%, respectively. The microstructural changes associated with exposure to microturbine exhaust gases are analyzed and discussed.
