High temperature corrosion is a major operating problem because it results in unscheduled shutdowns in Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants and accounts for a significant fraction of the total operating cost of WTE plants. Due to the heterogeneous nature of municipal solid waste (MSW) fuel and the presence of aggressive elements such as sulfur and chlorine, WTE plants have higher corrosion rates than coal-fired power plants which operate at higher temperature. To reduce corrosion rates while maximizing the heat recovery efficiency has long been a critical task for WTE operators. Past researchers focused on high temperature corrosion mechanisms and have identified important factors which affect the corrosion rate [1–4]. Also, there have been many laboratory tests seeking to classify the effects of these corrosion factors. However, many tests were performed under isothermal conditions where temperatures of flue gas and metal surface were the same and did not incorporate the synergistic effect of the thermal gradient between environment (flue gas) and metal surface. This paper presents a corrosion resistance test using an apparatus that can maintain a well controlled thermal gradient between the environment and the surface of the metals tested for corrosion resistance. Two commercial substrates (steels SA213-T11 and NSSER-4) were tested under different corrosive environments. The post-test investigation consisted of mass loss measurement of tested coupons, observation of cross-sectional morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and elemental analysis of corrosion products by energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The stainless steel NSSER-4 showed good corrosion resistance within the metal temperature range of 500 °C to 630 °C. The alloy steel SA213-T11 had an acceptable corrosion resistance at metal temperatures up to 540 °C, and the performance decreased dramatically at higher temperatures.

Current development of Advanced Steam Cycle coal-fired power plants requires superheater and reheater tubing alloys which can withstand severe conditions for high temperature corrosion. A corrosion equation to predict corrosion rates for candidate alloys has been developed by a study of deposits removed from steam generator tubes and from test probes installed in a boiler, supplemented by laboratory studies using synthetic coal ash. The corrosion equation predicts corrosion for a particular coal as a function of its content of sulfur, acid-soluble alkalies, and acid-soluble aklaline earths. Good agreement was obtained between the corrosion equation and 6000-hour tests using probes of TP347H and 17-14 CuMo.

The effect of lead on the corrosivity and friability of slags containing various ratios of sodium, vanadium, magnesium, and silicon has been evaluated. The application of the linear polarization technique was demonstrated. Lead produces very corrosive melts and tenacious slags. Magnesium will inhibit corrosion to acceptable levels and produce friable slags at 800 °C with a 4 to 1 ratio of additive to vanadium plus lead and a sodium to vanadium plus lead ratio no greater than 0.1. To produce friable slags at 900°, sodium must first be reduced to a sodium to vanadium plus lead ratio of 0.01. Second, a magnesium-silicon additive must be used at a 6 to 1 ratio of additive to vanadium plus lead. The corrosion rates of lead containing melts increases rapidly with sodium level.

The corrosion rates of Udimet™ 500 in a variety of sodium sulfate-silica-vanadium pentoxide and sodium sulfate-magnesium sulfate-silica-vanadium pentoxide slag compositions were measured electrochemically at temperatures up to 950 deg. The weight ratios of the elements, sodium, silicon, and magnesium to vanadium were defined for acceptable corrosion rates. A simple burner test for slag evaluation is described. Characteristics of slags produced by magnesium, silicon, and magnesium-silicon in conjunction with sodium sulfate and vanadium pentoxide are discussed. Results indicate that the magnesium-silicon combination produces a slag which is equally as low as magnesium in corrosivity and superior in slag characteristics.
