Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical plate production technology, and particularly relates to a production method of thin-gauge steel resistant to sulfuric acid dew point corrosion. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as metallurgy, power generation, and petrochemicals, heavy oil or coal typically contains 2%–3% sulfur. After combustion, the flue gas contains approximately 0.2% sulfur dioxide (SO2). Of this, 1%–2% of SO2 is catalyzed by ash and metal oxides to produce sulfur trioxide (SO3). SO3 then combines with moisture in the combustion gas (approximately 5%–10%) or in the air to form sulfuric acid. When the temperature is below the acid dew-point temperature (ADT) (approximately 130–150°C when the SO3 content in the flue gas is 30 × 10⁻⁶), dew droplets condense on low-temperature parts of equipment such as oil-fired or coal-fired boilers, including air preheaters, economizers, flues, chimneys, and desulfurization devices, corroding the metal. This is known as sulfuric acid dew-point corrosion.
[0003] Steel plates resistant to sulfuric acid dew point corrosion are widely used and have achieved good results in the application of sulfuric acid dew point corrosion resistant materials in industries such as steel enterprises, gas pipelines, chemical industry, power industry, and tobacco industry, due to their low cost and excellent acid resistance.
