Pad Welding of Inconel 625 Layer on Structural Steel Used in the Power Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to aggressive gases produced during combustion process of biomass, some elements of the power boiler should be covered with a material that possesses very high corrosion resistance (e.g. Inconel 625). This paper presents results of microstructural studies of Inconel 625 padding weld on waterwall elements (made of 13CrMo4-5 steel) for steam boiler designed for biomass combustion. The microstructural studies were carried out using Scanning- as well as Transmission Electron Microscopy methods. The padded weld layer exhibited dendritic structure. In the weld layer γ phase with an increased dislocation density and stacking faults was observed. In the base material (13CrMo4-5 steel) titanium nitrides, complex carbides and Laves phase enriched in niobium were observed.
