Behaviour of T91 Steel Oxide Scale Exposure to Temperature at 540°C for Different Exposure Duration
Abstract:
Grade T91 steel is one of a common material used for construction of superheater tubes in power generation boiler. In general, superheater tubes that operates in subcritical boiler are expose to operating temperatures in the range between 540°C to 580°C. Exposure to high temperature makes this steel subject to formation of oxide scale which can cause detrimental effect on the material properties. Excessive formation of oxide scale on internal surface of superheater tube can cause overheating damage at early stage of the boiler operation. This study was conducted to examine the behaviour of oxide scale forms on T91 steel for specimens exposed to temperature of 540°C for 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 hours holding time. The oxidation kinetic was identified as parabolic and the oxide scale was observed having 3 different layers which are haematite (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4) and spinel (Fe,Cr)2O3. The oxide scales layers were observed separated by voids and crack which are growing in size over time.
