Abstract

A new alloy design concept for creep- and corrosion-resistant, fully ferritic alloys was proposed for high-temperature structural applications in current/future fossil-fired power plants. The alloys, based on the Fe-30Cr-3Al (in weight percent) system with minor alloying additions of Nb, W, Si, Zr and/or Y, were designed for corrosion resistance though high Cr content, steam oxidation resistance through alumina-scale formation, and high-temperature creep performance through fine particle dispersion of Fe2(Nb,W)-type Laves phase in the BCC-Fe matrix. Theses alloys are targeted for use in harsh environments such as combustion and/or steam containing atmospheres at 700°C or greater. The alloys, consisting of Fe-30Cr-3Al-1Nb-6W with minor alloying additions, exhibited a successful combination of oxidation, corrosion, and creep resistances comparable or superior to those of commercially available heat resistant austenitic stainless steels. An optimized thermo-mechanical treatment combined with selected minor alloying additions resulted in a refined grain structure with high thermal stability even at 1200°C, which improved room-temperature ductility without sacrificing the creep performance. The mechanism of grain refinement in the alloy system is discussed.
