    Property
    Application areas

    The high creep strength of Esshete 1250, combined with its good resistance to steam and flue gas atmospheres, makes it a very suitable material for use in coal-fired boilers. The grade was developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960's, and the bulk of the material has been used in the UK power industry in 500 and 660 MW boilers.


    The main application has been superheaters and reheaters operating at 570°C (1058°F), steam pressure 170 bar (superheaters) and 40 bar (reheaters). Typical metal temperature 600–700°C (1112–1292°F), in flue gas temperature 900–1200°C (1652–2192°F). The corrosion environment on the fireside in the UK boilers was historically very aggressive as the British coal has, typically a high chlorine content of up to 0.6%, sulphur at 1–2% and a high ash content of 20%.


    Esshete 1250 has also been used successfully in superheaters in biomass boilers, burning various biofuels and producing steam at 580–540°C (1076–1004°F) at 60–200 bars pressure.

    Cold Forming

    Esshete 1250 can be cold bent to narrow bending radii. Heat treatment after cold bending is not normally necessary, but this must be decided after considering the degree of bending and the operating conditions. If post bending heat treatment is carried out, it should be in the form of solution annealing.

    Corrosion properties

    Air: Good resistance to scaling up to 800°C (1472°F).


    Gaseous corrosion: Good resistance to steam and flue gas atmospheres. In service conditions typical of coal-fired boilers, the alloy has a very similar fireside corrosion to alloys of the ASTM 316H type. However, the much increased high-temperature strength gives significantly improved service performance. Fireside corrosion resistance in coal-fired, biomass-fired or coal/biomass co-fired boilers is similar to that of type ASTM 347H. Steam-side corrosion is similar to that of type ASTM 347H.

    Heat Treatment

    Tubes are delivered in the heat treated condition. If another heat treatment is needed after further processing the following is recommended:

    Stress relieving: 850–950°C (1560–1740°F), 10–15 minutes, cooling in air.

    Solution annealing: 1050–1150°C (1920–2100°F), 5–20 minutes, rapid cooling in air, gas or water.

    Hot forming

    Hot bending is carried out at 1100–850°C (1832–1652°F) and should be followed by solution annealing.

    Other

    Forms of supply:

    Seamless tube and pipe in Esshete 1250 is supplied in dimensions up to 260 mm (10.24 in.) outside diameter, in the solution annealed and white-pickled condition or in the bright annealed condition.

    Structural Stability

    As in other austenitic stainless steels, sigma phase can be formed after long heat treatment in the range 550–950°C (1022–1742oF). Due to the low chromium content, Esshete 1250 is significantly less sensitive to sigma phase formation than steels of e.g. the ASTM 316 type, according to tests involving ageing for 100000 h.

    Welding

    The weldability of Esshete 1250 is good. Welding must be carried out without preheating and subsequent heat treatment is normally not required. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.


    For Esshete 1250, heat input of <1.5 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <150°C (300°F) are recommended.
