Abstract

Compared to fuels such as coal and natural gas, biomass has a lower heating value and contains a greater variety and higher concentration of corrosive media.The combustion of biomass produces a significant amount of corrosive atmospheres containing chlorine and sulfur, as well as metallic molten salts, which leads to severe high-temperature corrosion issues on the heating surfaces of biomass waste heat boilers.Although the existing technology of overlaying nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloys on the surface of pipes can significantly enhance the service life of pipelines, it suffers from numerous drawbacks, including low operational efficiency, unsuitability for on-site construction, and thermal deformation of the pipes.Inconel 625 high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings were prepared on the surface of TP347H heat-resistant steel using two processes: conventional laser cladding and high-speed laser cladding.A comparative study was conducted on the long-term high-temperature corrosion characteristics of TP347H heat-resistant steel before and after cladding with Inconel 625 alloy.The microstructure of the coatings was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after preparation and after 500 hours of high-temperature chloride corrosion.The corrosion resistance of TP347H heat-resistant steel was quantitatively evaluated using the weight gain method before and after coating.Results showed that under optimized process parameters, the coatings produced by both conventional and high-speed laser cladding exhibited dense microstructures, with bond strengths of 362.4 MPa and 217.3 MPa, respectively, and dilution rates of 5.4%and 0.9%.The weight gain results from corrosion tests showed that,under simulated corrosion conditions at 550 ℃,the corrosion rates of the Inconel 625 alloy coatings from laser cladding and high-speed laser cladding were approximately 17% and 8% of that of the TP347H heat-resistant steel substrate, respectively.Under simulated corrosion conditions at 650℃, the corrosion rates of the coatings were approximately 11%and 7%of that of the TP347H heat-resistant steel substrate, respectively.
