Problems caused by hot corrosion and creep damage on superheater and reheater tubes of power plants using heavy oil as fuel inhibit the continuous service of the boilers and shorten their design lives. The acceleration of hot corrosion attack of boilers is caused by the presence of fuel ash deposits containing V, Na, and S, in the form of Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} and V{sub 2}O{sub 5}, which form low melting point phases. In addition to this, the tubes are exposed to the action of both high stresses and high temperatures, producing a continuous plastic deformation of the tube walls called creep damage. Creep rupture tests were carried out in the temperature range 620 to 670 C in static air in the presence of corrosive environments using 321H and 347H type stainless steels used in superheater and reheater tubes under hot corrosion and creep environments. The corrosive environment includes synthetic Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4}, V{sub 2}O{sub 5}, and the mixture 80% V{sub 2}O{sub 5}-20%Na{sub 2}So{sub 4}. Also, the role of the different elements present in the environments on corrosion was investigated using electronic microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques.
