Abstract
The corrosion behavior of commercially available and welded Haynes® 160® Ni-Co-Cr-Si alloy samples was investigated by exposure to coal-gasifying integrated coal gasification combined cycle pilot plant facilities under typical conditions as 2.005 MPa and 160 to 300 °C. The morphological and microstructural analyses of the exposed samples were conducted using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis on the external surface of the recovered corrosion test samples to obtain information of the corrosion scale. These analyses based on the pre- and post-exposure corrosion test samples combined with thermodynamic Ellingham-Pourbaix stability diagrams provided preliminary insight into the mechanism of the observed corrosion behavior prevailing in the piping materials that connected the particulate removal unit and the water scrubber of the integrated coal gasification combined cycle pilot plant. Uniform material wastage was observed after 46 hours of operation, and a preliminary corrosion mechanism was suggested: the observed material waste and corrosion behavior of the Haynes® 160® Ni-Co-Cr-Si alloy samples cut off from the coal syngas integrated coal gasification combined cycle plant were explained by the formation of discontinuous (complex) oxide phases and subsequent chlorine-induced active oxidation under the predominantly reducing environment encountered. This contribution supplements the already published studies of Haynes® 556® Fe-Ni-Cr-Co alloys and Haynes® 230® nickel-based superalloys and completes the comprehensive series of such coal-gasifying integrated coal gasification combined cycle pilot plant exposure tests using the facilities affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Engineering.
Kurzfassung
Für den vorliegenden Beitrag wurden Proben einer kommerziell erhältlichen und geschweißten Ni-Co-Cr-Si-Legierung Haynes® 160® untersucht, wobei sie den Betriebsbedingungen bei 2.005 MPa und 160 bis 300 °C der integrierten Kohlevergasung in Synthesegas-Kombikraftwerken ausgesetzt wurden. Die morphologischen und mikrostrukturellen Analysen der Proben wurden mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie und energiedispersiver Röntgenspektroskopie der externen Oberfläche nach den Korrosionsversuchen durchgeführt, um Informationen über die Korrosionsschichten zu gewinnen. Diese Analysen basierend auf Proben vor und nach dem Korrosionsversuchen kombiniert mit thermodynamischen Ellingham-Pourbaix-Stabilitätsdiagrammen ermöglichten eine begrenzte Einsicht in die Mechanismen des beobachteten Korrosionsverhaltens, das in den Rohrwerkstoffen vorherrscht, die zur Verbindung der speziellen Entnahmeeinrichtungen und dem Wasserreiniger in integrierten Kohlevergasungs-Kombikraftwerken verwendet werden. Es wurde ein gleichförmiger Materialabtrag nach 46 Betriebsstunden beobachtet und hierfür ein erster Korrosionsmechanismus vorgeschlagen. Der beobachtete Materialverlust und das Korrosionsverhalten der Nickellegierung Haynes® 160®, die der IGCC-Anlage entnommen wurde, wurden mit der Bildung von diskontinuierlichen komplexen Oxid-Phasen und nachfolgender Chlorgas-induzierter aktiver Oxidation unter überwiegend reduzierenden Umgebungsbedingungen erklärt. Der Beitrag schließt an eine bereits veröffentlichte Untersuchungn der Fe-Ni-Cr-Co-Legierung Haynes® 556® und der Nickel-Superlegierung Haynes® 230® an und vervollständigt damit die umfangreichen Versuchsreihen unter Nutzung der entsprechenden Einrichtungen zusammen mit dem Institute for Advanced Engineering in Korea.
