Abstract  

To produce abundant and cheap electricity in a cleaner way, the next generation of advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) coal-fired power plants with higher thermal efficiency will operate at service temperatures at 700 ℃ and steam pressures up to 35 MPa. However, the temperature capacity of the currently used ferritic or austenitic steels in USC plants at 600 ℃ cannot meet the requirements. GH984G is a newly developed Ni-Fe-Cr base alloy designed for A-USC, but its oxidation behavior in steam at 700 ℃ is unclear. In this work, the oxidation kinetics of GH984G alloy in steam at 700 ℃ was investigated by weighting specimens at intervals. Morphology, composition and phase constituent of the steam oxide scale were characterized using SEM, EDS and XRD. The results show that the oxidation of GH984G alloy follows a parabolic law with a rate constant of 0.00521 mg/(cm2·h1/2) and steady weight gain rate of 8×10-4 g/(m2·h). The oxide scale mainly consists of Cr2O3 and Al2O3. Meanwhile, a small amount of TiO2 was observed. The oxide scale of Cr2O3 forms on the alloy surface and then the internal oxidation of Al to be Al2O3 occurs along the grain boundaries of the matrix alloy and TiO2 forms at the surface of the external oxide scale. The morphology of Cr2O3 at the surface of the oxide scale is needle-like at the initial oxidation stage and then the agglomeration of Cr2O3 was observed and the cellular shape forms. Finally, the coalescence of the cellular Cr2O3 appears and the flat surface of the external oxide scale forms. The excellent oxidation resistant of GH984G alloy in steam at 700 ℃ can be attributed to the compact external oxide scale of Cr2O3 and the root-like internal oxide scale of Al2O3.
