Solid particle erosion (SPE) harms steam and gas turbines, reducing efficiency and raising costs. The push for ultra-supercritical turbines reignited interest in SPE’s impact on high-temperature alloys. While the gas turbine industry researches methods to improve erosion resistance, a similar need exists for steam turbines. Existing room-temperature SPE test standards are insufficient for evaluating turbine materials. To address this gap, an EPRI program is developing an elevated-temperature SPE standard. This collaborative effort, involving researchers from multiple countries, has yielded a draft standard submitted to ASTM for approval. This presentation will detail the program, test conditions, and the draft standard’s development.
