Application: Boiler Tubes

At the heart of our pedigree and experience is the production of boiler tubes, using the latest production technologies to ensure excellence of quality is combined with innovation in materials. 

As today's conventional power plants evolve in terms of operating efficiencies and environment controls so the operating environments become ever more challenging.  

Advanced ultra supercritical power plants with operating temperatures of 700 ºC (1292 ºF) and pressures > 350 bar demand materials which demonstrate high temperature creep strength, enabling the improved optimisation of wall thickness.  

Our boiler tubes size range of cold finished seamless tubes is complemented by our extensive range of heat exchanger and instrumentation sizes.

Shot Peening

Shot Peening is a cost-effective technique to refine austenitic superheater and reheater tubes, on grades like DMV 304HCu, DMV 347, DMV 347HFG and DMV 4910.  

Treating the inner surface of the tube with particles of its own grade, creates a cold shaped, fine grained layer. While in use inside a power plant at temperatures about 570 °C (1058 °F), a permanent and dense layer of chromium oxide is formed that steadily protects the tube from its inside. 

Shot peened tubes can be used in power plants at  higher temperatures  and offer an  increased service life, compared to other superheater or reheater tubes. That makes it an alternative to products in price volatile chrome and nickel alloys. 

HRSG Heat Recovery Steam Generator Tubes

Our heat recovery steam generator tubing is at the heart of the process for the continual drive towards improving thermal operating efficiencies of today’s power plants. 

With straight lengths up to 30 m (98 ft) long we offer stainless and nickel alloys suitable for environments demanding high thermal fatigue, creep and corrosion fatigue properties.
