Analysis/control of in-bed tube erosion phenomena in the fluidized bed combustion (FBC) system. Technical progress report No. 12
This technical report summarizes the research work performed and progress achieved during the period of July 1, 1995 to October 30, 1995. The characteristics of resistant coatings were determined and related to metal wastage of in-bed tubes in FBC under various laboratory test conditions, The tests were conducted at high impact velocity, 30 m/s, and short exposure time (4 hours) to minimize oxidation of surrounding surface specimens. No oxidation layer founded on the worn surfaces of AISI 1018 carbon steel, The eroded surfaces and cross sections of coatings tested at high velocity were investigated, The surfaces of coating specimens were eroded through a combined mechanism of brittle and ductile modes, These mechanical properties of materials are strongly dependent on the composition and microstate of materials, rather than to their hardness, For high velocity testing, all of the coatings exhibited {open_quotes}brittle behavior{close_quotes}, i.e., the erosion rate at shallow angles was higher than at steep angles and maximum erosion rate at impact angle of 90{degrees}. Tests will be continued and compared with erosion test results for different thermal sprayed coatings.
