Abstract
The growing demands for electricity and UE requirements, regarding the increase in thermal efficiency of power boilers and the reduction of pollution emission to the atmosphere, create a need to modernize the power industry. Raising the parameters of the steam, which increases the thermal efficiency, is one of the ways to meet this requirements. However, achieving a net efficiency of approx. 50% depends on the use of new manufacturing technologies and materials with higher creep resistance than previously used. This article presents the results of high-temperature corrosion resistance test of hybrid welded joints (laser + MAG) of austenitic stainless steel grade 304 used for membrane wall panels. The specimens were placed in an oven in an atmosphere with the composition: N2+9% O2+0.08% SO2 at a temperature of 700 °C and an exposure time of 1000 hours. As a measure of high-temperature corrosion resistance, changes of the mass were adopted. In order to evaluate the oxide layer formed on the surface of the material, the specimens were observed on a scanning electron microscope. The supplement of the research was the chemical (EDS) and phase (XRD) composition analysis. The results confirmed the pres- ence of a layer consisting mainly of Cr2O3 and Fe3O4.
