The boiler tubes, steam and gas turbines are commonly affected by severe high-temperature
erosion wear due to impingement of solid particles entrained in the stream of fluid. The …

The failure mitigation and economic analysis related to the damage of the boiler tube in the
power plant system were evaluated in the present study. The research was conducted at …

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of a failed 12Cr1MoV super-heater tube
that had been in long-term service. Several characterization techniques such as confocal …

The failure of boiler tubes, superheater tubes and turbine blades, due to high-temperature
erosion, is a serious issue in the power generation industry. The investigation focuses on the …

Tests were conducted to identify the effects of existing defects on strain hardening and strain
aging of boiler tubes. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and finite element analysis …

In order to further understand the failure mechanism of superheater tubes of waste heat
boiler in a complex environment, sample sections cut down from the failed and non-failed …

This paper presents a failure analysis of a boiler tube (SA-210 Grade A-1) in a low sulfur
waxy residue (LSWR) oil-fired plant. A highly deformed bulged rupture was observed on the …

Overheating, corrosive degradation, hydrogen embrittlement, creep, erosion, and corrosion
are the cause of most failure problems in fire tubes. Herein, we have evaluated the …

Water walls are subjected to thermo-mechanical loading, which potentially leads to fatigue
crack initiation and growth from the weld defects. This study comprehensively analyzes the …

Herein, a failure analysis of the out header of a secondary superheater tube in a 600-MW
coal-fired power plant that has been operating for the past 26 years was performed. This …
