Abstract:

There was a tube bursting in the lowtemperature superheater of supercritical unit in a power plant.Through macro inspection, metallographic analysis and electron microscopy, combining previous startup and shutdown inspection status, maintenance status, abnormal operation and the initial design of the boiler, it is discovered that oxidized scale falling off which leads to tube blockage and shortterm overheating is the cause to the tube bursting. Effective preventive measures for operating statuses are proposed, which effectively improve the safety and economy of the units
