Increased efficiency in coal-fired power boilers
Our new material Sanicro® 25 is engineered for the next generation of coal-fired power boilers, contributing to significantly greater efficiency and sharply lower CO2 emissions. It is ideal for superheater and reheater tubes, allowing for material temperatures of up to 700ºC (1290ºF). Read more about Sanicro® 25.
Applications
Below are the most typical applications for Sandvik superheater and reheater tubes. Contact us for advice on product selection or other technical support.
| Sandvik grade | Typical applications |
|---|---|
| Sanicro® 25 (UNS S31035) |
Superheater and reheater tubes in the next generation of coal-fired power boilers for material temperatures of up to 700ºC (1290ºF). |
| Sanicro® 31HT (UNS N08811/N08810) |
Superheater and reheater tubes in boilers with corrosive conditions. |
| Sanicro® 41 (UNS N08825) |
Superheater and reheater tubes in boilers with corrosive conditions. Sanicro® 41 is generally more resistant to flue gases compared to Sanicro 31HT. |
| Sanicro® 28 (UNS 08028, EN 1.4563) |
Radiant syngas coolers in IGCC gasification. Superheater tubes in boilers with corrosive conditions. The high chromium content of Sanicro® 28 contributes to high gas corrosion resistance. |
