Analysis of Problems Occured During Welding of New Genreation Bainitic Steel 7CrMoVTiB10-10 (T24)

A dynamic development of steels for components for usc boilers used in fossil fired power plants creates new welding problems. Introduction of new combinations of alloying agents, which are used to improve mechanical properties, especially creep resistance, does not remain indifferent as to the weldability of the newest steels. Every new steel grade which will be used for pressure components in power plants boilers has to be precisely tested. The most important processes that require profound research are bending and welding. It is crucial to examine all new steel grades and use the knowledge to elaborate technologies which could be used during prefabrication and assembly of boiler installations. As an example 7CrMoVTiB10-10 also known as T/P24 is given.
