Abstract

The recent deterioration problem of materials for fossil power plant components due to being put into long term service at high temperatures constitute a subject of the utmost concern to power companies and plant manufacturers. The requirement imposed upon these components is that they can serve longer than originally expected, in spite of their frequent starts and stops. Accordingly materials from which these components are made must be capable of serving satisfactorily throughout their design lives.
