Abstract
G115 steel is a novel martensitic heat-resistant steel, primarily utilized in the main steam pipelines and collectors of ultra-supercritical thermal power units. However, the oxidation resistance of martensitic steels in the high-temperature steam environment is usually suboptimal, significantly affecting the efficiency of power plants. In this paper, shot peening (SP) is employed as a surface treatment method for G115 steel, and the oxidation kinetics, oxide layer thickness, and microstructure of shot-peened G115 samples are compared with those of G115 steel. The results indicate that in the 650 °C steam environment, the oxidation kinetics of the shot-peened samples follow the parabolic law and that the oxidation weight gain is significantly smaller than that of the non-shot-peened samples. The higher the SP intensity, the smaller the oxidation weight gain and the better the oxidation resistance. This can be attributed to the fragmentation of the grains in the surface layer caused by external stress during SP, which creates a multitude of grain boundaries that can provide rapid diffusion pathways for corrosion-resistant Cr atoms, resulting in the accelerated outward diffusion of Cr atoms from the substrate. Simultaneously, a continuous and dense FeCr2O4 protective layer is produced at the interface between the SP layer and the substrate, obstructing the inward diffusion of oxygen and enhancing the oxidation resistance of G115 steel.
