Publicación Restringido Comparison between field and laboratory steam oxidation testing on aluminide coatings on P92(Wiley online library, 2011-01-12) Agüero, Alina; González, V; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Knödler, R; Straub, S; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Centro de Astrobiología del Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial y CSIC, MDM-2017-0737Steam oxidation has become an important issue for steam power plants as operating temperatures increase from the current 550 to 600–650 °C. For the last 10 years several groups have been carrying out steam oxidation testing of both uncoated substrates and coatings in the laboratory. On the other hand, field testing results are very scarce. In this paper, a comparison of laboratory steam oxidation testing with field test results carried out by Alstom at the Kraftwerk Westfalen power station located in Hamm, Germany will be presented. Both slurry deposited aluminide coatings and uncoated P92 steel have been included in the study. Under steam (atmospheric pressure) and isothermal conditions in the laboratory at 650 °C, spallation of oxides formed on ferritic steels occurs after significantly longer time when compared to exposure to real operating conditions. Oxide spallation results in serious damage in steam power plants by obstructing heat exchanger tubes, erosion of valves and turbine blades, etc. Moreover, the thickness of the oxide scales formed under field testing conditions is significantly higher after similar exposure. On the other hand, aluminide coated P92, which exhibit thickness through cracks, have shown to be stable in the laboratory for up to 60 000 h at 650 °C under steam, without evidence of crack propagation. However, field test results indicate that some degree of crack propagation occurs but without causing substrate attack up to 21 700 h of exposure. Moreover, the aluminium oxide observed in both laboratory and field tested specimens is different.Publicación Acceso Abierto Laboratory intercomparison of solar absorptance and thermal emittance measurements at room temperature(Elsevier, 2022-05-14) Caron, Simon; Herding, L.; Binyamin, Yaniv; Baidossi, M.; Vinetsky, Y.; Morales, Angel; Hildebrandt, C.; Reoyo Prats, R.; Faugeroux, O.; Agüero, Alina; Rodríguez, Sergio; Sutter, Florian; Röger, M.; Manzano Agugliaro, F.; European Commission (EC)Solar thermal absorber coatings play an important role in the opto-thermal efficiency of receivers in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). Two standard figures of merit are the solar absorptance αsol and thermal emittance εth, derived from spectral directional hemispherical reflectance measurements at room temperature. These two figures of merit allow comparing coating formulations in terms of performance and durability. In this study, a black coating and a solar selective coating are optically characterized by different laboratories to compare spectral datasets, solar absorptance αsol and thermal emittance εth calculations. The comparison includes various benchtop spectrophotometers operating in the UV-VIS-NIR and Infrared spectral ranges as well as three commercial portable reflectometers/emissometers. A good agreement is found between the nine parties participating in this intercomparison campaign. The black coating αsol value is 96.6 ± 0.2%, while the solar selective coating αsol value is 94.5 ± 0.4%. For the thermal emittance, spectral data is concatenated and integrated from 0.3 to 16 μm. The black coating εth value calculated at 650 °C is 80.8 ± 3.8%, while the solar selective coating εth value calculated at 650 °C is 25.0 ± 0.5%.Publicación Restringido HVOF coatings for steam oxidation protection(Wiley online library, 2008-05-29) Agüero, Alina; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; González, Vanessa; Centro de Astrobiología del Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial y CSIC, MDM-2017-0737In the context of the European project ‘Coatings for Supercritical Steam Cycles’ (SUPERCOAT), the use of steam oxidation resistant coatings on currently available ferritic materials with high creep strength but poor oxidation resistance was investigated in order to allow increase in the operating temperature of steam power plants from 550 to 650 °C. Among the explored coating techniques for this application, chosen on the basis of being potentially appropriate for coating steam turbine components, High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray has resulted in one of the most successful techniques. Different alloyed materials such as FeCrAl, NiCrSiFeB, FeAl, NiCr and FeCr have been deposited, optimized and tested under flowing steam at 650 °C. Characterization of as deposited and tested samples by metallography, SEM-EDS and XRD was carried out. Some of these coatings form protective pure chromium or aluminium oxides exhibiting excellent behaviour for at least 15 000 h of exposure, whereas others form less stable complex mixed oxides which nevertheless grow at considerably slower rates than the oxides formed on uncoated P92 (9 wt% Cr ferritic steel).Publicación Restringido Cyclic oxidation and mechanical behaviour of slurry aluminide coatings for steam turbine components(Elsevier, 2007-04-02) Agüero, Alina; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Van Vulpen, R.; Osgerby, Steve; Banks, J. P.The excellent steam oxidation resistance of iron aluminide coatings on ferritic steels at 650 °C has been demonstrated both by laboratory tests and field exposure. These coatings are formed by the application of an Al slurry followed by diffusion heat treatment at 700 °C for 10 h. The resulting microstructure is mostly composed of Fe2Al5 on top of a much thinner FeAl layer. This coating exhibits perpendicular cracks due to thermal expansion mismatch between coating and substrate. However, these stress relieving cracks do not seem to have an effect on the mechanical properties of the substrate. Cyclic oxidation, creep resistance and TMF testing of these coatings at 650 °C indicate excellent performance.Publicación Acceso Abierto Slurry and Thermal Spray Coatings for Protection of New Generation Steam Engine Components(ASM International, 2001-03-14) Agüero, Alina; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Román Gárate, AliciaPublicación Restringido Al Slurry Coatings for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Separator Plates(Scientific.Net, 2001-01-20) Agüero, Alina; García, M. C.; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Sánchez, A.; Pérez, Francisco J.; Duday, David; Hierro, M. P.; Gómez, ConsueloThe corrosion behaviour of Al slurry coated AISI 310 stainless steel, with and without diffusion heat treatment, was investigated as a wet seal material for molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) at 650°C. The results were compared with IVD Al coated AISI 310. Characterization of the samples before and after exposure to the eutectic 62 mol% Li2CO3-38 mol% K2CO3 mixture at 650°C for 1000 h by SEM-EDS and XRD was carried out. The presence of LiAlO2 on the coated samples was confirmed by XRD. The slurry Al-coated stainless steels performed at least as well as the IVD Al coating.Publicación Restringido Steam Oxidation Resistant Coatings for Steam Turbine Components: A Feasibility Study(Scientific.Net, 2001-10-20) Agüero, Alina; García de Blas, Javier; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Sánchez, A.; Tsipas, Sophia A.The principal objective of the COST Action 522 is to raise the operating temperatures of both gas and steam turbines in order to increase their efficiency to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Concerning steam turbines, the operating temperature is expected to rise from 550°C to 650°C, and the use of oxidation resistant coatings is being considered for the first time in Europe. In this preliminary work, two deposition techniques have so far been explored: slurry paints and atmospheric plasma spray (APS). Commercially available materials, known to have good oxidation resistance, were selected for both deposition techniques: one aluminium slurry and three alloyed materials for thermal spray: AlFe, FeCrAl and NiAl. The coatings were characterised by SEM-EDS and steam oxidation testing was carried out at 650°C. The preliminary findings show that some of the studied coatings may offer adequate protection.Publicación Restringido Steam Oxidation Testing of Coatings for Next Generation Steam Power Plant Components(Scientific.Net, 2006-08-14) Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Muelas Gamo, RaúlTo achieve higher power generation efficiency in steam turbines, operating temperatures are expected to rise from 550°C to 650°C. The use of oxidation resistant coatings on currently available materials, with high creep strength but inferior steam oxidation resistance, is being explored in order to accomplish this goal in the context of the European project “Coatings for Supercritical Steam Cycles” (SUPERCOAT). Coating techniques have been chosen on the basis of being potentially appropriate for coating steam turbine components: the application of metallic and ceramic slurries, pack cementation and the deposition of alloyed and cermet materials by thermal spray. The coatings were characterised by metallography, SEM-EDS and XRD and steam oxidation and thermal cycling laboratory testing was carried out at 650º C. In this presentation, the testing results of selected coatings will be shown including those which exhibit the most promising behaviour. For instance, slurry aluminides have been exposed to steam at 650°C for more than 38,000 h (test ongoing) without evidence of substrate attack. Some HVOF coatings such as FeAl, NiCr and FeCr also have shown excellent behaviour. The results have provided information regarding the mechanism of protection and degradation of these coatings as well as insight into new coating development.Publicación Restringido Steam Oxidation of Slurry Aluminide Coatings on Ferritic Steels for Advanced Coal-Fired Steam Power Plants(Scientific.Net, 2004-08-12) Agüero, Alina; Muelas Gamo, RaúlThe use of slurry aluminide coatings on ferrite steels for advanced coal-fired steam power plants were analyzed. The materials used were found to have good high temperature oxidation resistance and deposited by techniques that can be employed to coat large steam turbine components either at the plant or at their location of manufacture. Laboratory steam oxidation testing as well as characterization of the coatings both before and after exposure was also presented. The results have provided information regarding the mechanism of protection and degradation of these coatings as well as insight for new coating development.Publicación Acceso Abierto 10,000 h molten salt corrosion testing on IN617, uncoated and aluminide ferritic steels at 580 ºC(Richter C., 2020-12) Agüero, Alina; Audigié, P.; Rodríguez, Sergio; European Commission (EC)Long term testing of two ferritic-martensitic steels (P91 and VM12-SHC) with and without slurry deposited aluminide coatings containing 20 wt.% of Al at the surface was carried out by exposing these materials to the Solar Salt, a eutectic mixture composed of 60 % NaNO3 - 40 % KNO3 at 580ºC. This salt is currently used in operating thermal solar power plants as heat transfer and storage fluid. Tubes made of expensive Ni based alloys are employed to mitigate corrosion. The tested uncoated ferritic materials exhibited very high corrosion rates developing thick, easily detached scales. IN617 was also tested as a reference and experienced very low corrosion up to 5,000 h, but after 10,000 h a 50 ȝm thick, mostly NiO scale had developed with Na0.6CoO2 crystals deposited on top. There was also evidence of significant Cr depletion at the alloy surface. Carcinogenic CrVI was found in the Solar Salt melt in which the three uncoated alloys were immersed. In contrast, the two coated ferritic steels did not show evidence of degradation after 10,000 h and the most significant microstructural change was the development of a very thin protective NaAlO2 layer on their surface. An industrial process to deposit these coatings on the inner surfaces of pipes has already been developed.
