UK Klappentext Due to their continuing role in electricity generation, it is important that coal power plants operate as efficiently and cleanly as possible. Coal Power Plant Materials and Life Assessment reviews the materials used in coal plants, and how they can be assessed and managed to optimize plant operation. Part I considers the structural alloys used in coal plants. Part II then reviews performance modelling and life assessment techniques, explains the inspection and life-management approaches that can be adopted to optimize long term plant operation, and considers the technical and economic issues involved in meeting variable energy demands. Zusammenfassung This book summarises key research on coal-fired power plant materials! their behaviour under operational loads! and approaches to life assessment and defect management. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part 1 Materials used in coal-fired power plant construction: Creep-resistant ferritic steels; Heat resistant low alloy steels; Conventional chromium and molybdenum low alloy steels; Stainless steels; Nickel-based alloys. Part 2 Performance assessment: In-service loading data and life assessment; Residual life evaluation! defect assessment and monitoring techniques; Assessing crack initiation and growth; Risk-based inspection and life assessment of boilers; Assessing problems associated with the cyclic operation of coal-fired power plants.
