Abstract
The advantage of using supercritical water systems for
power generation is based on the increased thermodynamic
efficiency when operating at higher temperature and
pressure. High efficiency in power generation is not only
desirable because of economical reasons but also for
enhanced environmental performance. Steam oxidation has
become an important issue for steam power plants as
operating temperatures increase from current to 650°C and
even higher. To achieve these higher steam values new
materials are needed. This paper presents results of the
oxidation performance of potential new alloys (FeCrAlY,
NiCrAl and Sanicro 25) in a supercritical water autoclave
environment at 650°C/250 bar.
