Erosion Wear Resistance of CWS Laminated Ceramic Nozzles

Abstract:

In coal-water-slurry (CWS) boilers, the nozzle is eroded continuously by the abrasive action of the CWS, and there are high temperature and temperature gradient inside nozzle, which may cause large tensile stress and lead to an increased erosion wear of the nozzle. In this paper, Al2O3/(W,Ti)C+Al2O3/TiC laminated ceramics were developed to be used as nozzles in CWS boilers. The purpose is to reduce the tensile stresses at the nozzle during the CWS burning process. The value of the residual stresses, which arise from a mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the constituent phases and neighbouring layers, was calculated by means of the finite element method. The erosion wear behavior of the laminated nozzles was investigated and compared with an unstressed reference nozzle. Results showed that the laminated ceramic nozzles exhibited an apparent increase in erosion wear resistance over the unstressed reference one. It is suggested that laminated structures in ceramic nozzles is an effective way to improve their erosion wear resistance in industrial CWS boilers.
