Anotace |
| The MACPLUS project aims to increase the net efficiency of coal fired plants by increasing the performace and reliability of some critical components identified as follow: - refractory materials of the combustion chamber, - headers and pipeworks (avoidance of weld Type IV cracking phenomena, working temperature increase), - super heaters (optimised creep performance in high temperature oxidation/hot corrosion environments), - coated pipes and boiler components able to withstand co-combustion conditions, - relevant new scientific and technological know-how in terms of microstructure stability and reduced susceptibility to Type IV cracking mechanisms of advanced martensitic steels, austenitic steels and Ni-base alloys, - descriptions of creep and creep-fatigue behaviour of metallic materials (and their welded component). |
