Alloy 617 OCC, a variant of INCONEL 617 with optimised chemical composition, has been produced in India for manufacture of superheater and reheater tubing in boilers operating in advanced ultrasupercritical (A-USC) power plants. The tubing encounters intense hot corrosion conditions during service. The present study deals with hot corrosion behaviour of 617 OCC in A-USC environment. The environment occurring in A-USC plants was simulated in the laboratory by exposing the material coated with a mixture of salts at 700°C in a flowing gas mixture. For use in A-USC boiler technology, the metal loss due to fireside corrosion of the material should be less than 2 mm in 200,000 hours. The loss obtained in the present study was nearly 5 times this value. The corrosion processes were studied using SEM/EDAX, XRD and thermogravimetry. The degradation mechanisms coming into play, disqualifying the material for use in A-USC plants, would be discussed.

Steam has been proposed as an efficient cooling medium for the hot section components in the advanced gas turbines replacing compressed air for more efficient cooling allowing the turbine to operate at higher efficiency. To evaluate the effect of steam on oxidation and corrosion of hot section materials, three superalloys (X-45, Inconel-617 and IN-738LC) were exposed to steam at 840°C. Steam environments used were (a) steam generated from deionized water, (b) steam generated from deionized water with 5ppm each of NaCl and Na2SO4 and (c) steam generated from deionized water with 50 ppm each of NaCl and Na2SO4. The respective exposure times were 3900, 2950, and 1450 hours. IN-738LC showed severe internal oxidation in steam. In contaminated steam the hot corrosion damage was maximum in Inconel-617. X-45 showed less oxidation damage than IN-738LC and less hot corrosion than Inconel-617.

Four Textron Lycoming TF40B marine gas turbine engines are used to power the U.S. Navy’s Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicle. This is the first hovercraft of this configuration to be put in service for the Navy as a landing craft. The TF40B has experienced compressor blade pitting, carbon erosion of the first turbine blade and hot corrosion of the hot section. Many of these problems were reduced by changing the maintenance and operation of the LCAC. A Component Improvement Program (CIP) is currently investigating compressor and hot section coatings better suited for operation in a harsh marine environment. This program will also improve the performance of some engine components such as the bleed manifold and bearing seals.
