Future, flexible thermal energy conversion systems require new, demand-optimized high-performance materials. In order to provide a basis for the targeted development of fatigue-resistant, cost-effective steel grades, the microstructural damage to materials and the failure of conventional and novel steels were investigated in thermo-mechanical fatigue and fatigue crack propagation experiments. Based on the results, improved, ferritic “HiperFer” (High performance Ferrite) steels were designed, produced and characterized. A brief description of the current state of development is given.

Constricted steam oxidation resistance and finite microstructural stability limits the use of 9 - 12 wt.-% chromium ferritic-martensitic steels to steam temperatures of about 620 °C. Newly developed 12 wt.-% Cr steels are prone to Z-phase precipitation, which occurs at the expense of the strengthening precipitates, and therefore suffer an accelerated decline in strength during longterm operation. While the concept of ferritic-martensitic chromium steels thus seems to hit technological limitations, further improvement in steam power plant efficiency necessitates a further increase of steam pressure and temperature. Furthermore increasing integration of intermitting renewable energy technologies in electrical power generation poses a great challenge for supply security, which has to be ensured on the basis of conventional power plant processes. Besides improved efficiency for resource preservation, load flexibility, thermal cycling capability and downtime corrosion resistance will play key roles in the design of tailored materials for future energy technology. Under these preconditions a paradigm shift in alloy development towards improvement of cyclic steam oxidation and downtime corrosion resistance in combination with adequate creep and thermomechanical fatigue strength seems to be mandatory. The steam oxidation, mechanical and thermomechanical properties of fully ferritic 18 - 24 wt.-% chromium model alloys, strengthened by the precipitation of intermetallic (Fe,Cr,Si)2(Nb,W) Laves phase particles, indicate the potential of this type of alloys as candidate materials for application in highly efficient and highly flexible future supercritical steam power plants.
