Effects of silicon and titanium on the corrosion of low-alloy steels in a simulated coal gasification environment at 600 C
Results of corrosion tests carried out on a series of Fe-12% Cr alloys in coal gasification environments t 600 C were studied. Effects of Si and Ti on corrosion resistance were assessed using data obtained from a commercial 12% Cr alloy, type 410 (UNS S41000), three specially cast model 12% Cr alloys containing 2.7% Si with Ti levels of 0%, 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively, and a higher alloy (type 28 [UNS N08028]) heat exchanger steel. Corrosion tests were carried out using simulated dry-feed entrained slagging gasifier gas The gas (64% carbon monoxide [CO], 3.8% carbon dioxide [CO{sub 2}], 0.8% hydrogen sulfide [H{sub 2}S], and balance H{sub 2} [in vol%]) was premixed and passed over the test pieces at a rate high enough to prevent thermodynamic equilibrium achievement. Results showed that Si had a strongly beneficial influence on corrosion resistance. Ti, depending upon the amount added, exerted a positive or negative influence on corrosion resistance and reduced problems associated with workability. The kinetics of corrosion were presented in terms of weight-change and metal-loss measurements, the synergistic influences of Si and Ti were discussed, and corrosion resistance was compared with that exhibited by a commercial 12% Cr steel and type 28, the higher alloy material.
