Application of co-extruded and coated tubes to advanced steam cycle boilers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6888338
Design steam conditions for currently planned Advanced Steam Cycle power plants are 4500 psi (31MPa), 1100/sup 0/F (593/sup 0/C) and 5000 psi (34.5MPa), 1200/sup 0/F (650/sup 0/F), requiring tube materials of high creep strength and excellent resistance to coal ash corrosion. Certain existing high chromium and high nickel alloys are usable, but are quite expensive and have relatively poor thermal conductivity. Composite tubes consisting of a high strength alloy inner core clad with a thin layer of corrosion resisting alloy can provide an economical alternative. Such tubes can be made by co-extrusion or by diffusion coating. A study of the application of composite tubes is presented. Inner tube materials selected were 17-14CuMo, Fine Grained TP347H, Tempaloy A-1, Alloy 800H, and conventional TP347H. 310SS and 35Cr-45Ni steel were chosen as the outer, corrosion-resistant layers.
