Development trend of ferritic heat-resistant steel

Note:
According to international practice, the so-called pearlite, bainite, and martensitic heat-resistant steels in boiler and pipeline steels are collectively referred to as “ferritic heat-resistant steels”.

With the adjustment of my country’s energy structure and the optimization of power supply construction, high-efficiency, clean, and environmentally friendly large-capacity and high-parameter units have become dominant. By increasing the steam parameters (pressure and temperature), it can effectively improve the thermal efficiency of the unit, reduce coal consumption, and reduce CO2 emissions. At present, the main way to improve the efficiency of thermal power units is to improve steam parameters and develop supercritical (SC) and ultra-supercritical (USC) units. At present, there are more than 100 million-kilowatt ultra-supercritical (USC) units put into operation in my country, ranking first in the world in both quantity and total capacity.

Note:

1. GER-91M is coating transition, that is, the welding core is ordinary carbon steel core wire, and the main alloy is transitioned by coating. Compared with GER-91 (core wire transition type), it has better economic benefits and is our super The main products of welding rods for supercritical thermal power.

3.The 2015 version of ASME standard requires E9015-B91 electrode Mn+Ni≤1.4%, and the 2017 version requires ≤1.2% for the base metal. (2021 latest version of ASME continues to use the 2015 version of ASME’s composition requirements for E9015-B91/ B92 electrodes). In order to meet the market demand, our E9015-B91 and E9015-B92 welding rods have developed two types of corresponding welding materials: Mn+Ni≤1.4% and Mn+Ni≤1.2%. Because the latter has more market demand, the above shows 91/ 92 electrodes are deposited metal Mn+Ni≤1.2%.
