1 Quality management at RWE using T24 boiler material as an example Ralf Nowack, Christoph Götte and Simon Heckmann Kurzfassung Qualitätsmanagement bei RWE am Beispiel des Kesselwerkstoffs T24 Die geänderten Marktanforderungen nach effizienteren und flexibleren Kraftwerken stellen die europäischen Kraftwerksbetreiber vor eine der größten Herausforderungen der letzten Jahrzehnte. Die deutliche Steigerung der Wirkungsgrade bei gleichzeitiger Flexibilisierung erfordert hinsichtlich der Auswahl geeigneter Werkstoffe ein besonderes Augenmerk. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund einer internationalen Beschaffung sowie dem Kostendruck, dem die Hersteller und Lieferanten begegnen, kommt dem Qualitätsmanagement der Betreiber eine immer bedeutendere Rolle zu. Die RWE Technology hat sich organisatorisch frühzeitig dieser Herausforderung gestellt, indem sie das Qualitätsmanagement in der direkten Verantwortung der Geschäftsleitung verankert hat, um Qualitätsthemen mit einer strukturierten Qualitätsplanung, -sicherung und -kontrolle zu begegnen. Durch die Gründung des Quality Centre of Competence (QCC) wurde organisatorisch der Geschäftsbereich neu aufgestellt, sodass gemeinsam mit den Projekten und dem Bereich Engineering gezielt Maßnahmen entwickelt und umgesetzt werden können, um auf Qualitätsprobleme zeitnah und nachhaltig für alle laufenden Projekte reagieren zu können. Dies soll in folgendem Artikel anhand der Qualitätsmängel im Zusammenhang mit dem Membranrohrwerkstoff T24 dargestellt werden, der in den heute in Europa im Bau befindlichen Stein- und Braunkohlekraftwerken zum Einsatz kommt. Authors Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Ing. Ralf Nowack RWE Technology GmbH CPO, Essen/Germany Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Götte RWE Technology GmbH TCB, Essen/Germany Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Ing. Simon Heckmann RWE Technology GmbH QCC, Essen/Germany Introduction European operators are currently being faced with the challenge of renewing their power plant networks to an as-yet unquantifiable degree. Thanks to efficiency gains, the new power plants will reduce CO 2 emissions and the use of specific fuels and, through additional measures applied in the cleaning of flue gases, significantly reduce emissions compared to those of the existing power plant network. If efficiency is to be raised in hard coaland lignite-fired power plants, in particular, live steam and reheat temperatures need to be raised. This increase in temperature calls for the use of new materials in the production of steam, its piping, and in steam turbines. After an almost 5-year period during which no new power plants have been constructed in Germany, current new-build projects place various needs on operators in respect of project and quality management. These needs are particularly related to the management of suppliers, quality controls applied to the manufacture and assembly of their products, and short expediting intervals during production. In addition, the implementation of professional claim management, against a background of increased risk due to international procurement, and the adoption of a more professional approach to supplier claim management, are urgently required. Correspondingly, operator quality management calls for the implementation of a sustainable quality strategy, applied by an effective, learning organisation using customised processes. This needs-oriented, project-specific, and yet integrated process management, creates a triad of project and quality management and engineering characterised by process efficiency, excellence and the optimised use of resources. Only quality management structures set up to cope with the demands of major projects will be capable of dealing with challenges as they arise through proactive quality planning, assurance and controls (in the sense of a closed quality cycle). RWE Technology s approach involves employing its Quality Centre of Competence to the benefit of new-build projects and the RWE Group as a whole. Use of T24 T24 was developed for use in the new generation of steam turbines. It is notable for its high creep rupture strength, compared to materials previously used. T24 is currently being used in 3 new-build hard coal- and lignite-fired power station projects in western Europe, including in Germany, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. In these plants, it is used to line membrane pipe walls and heating surface banks, as well as for inner supporting pipes. The new-build projects in question are listed in Figure. These plants have a total installed capacity of around 5 GW. RWE s BoA 2&3 F and G lignite-fired units at Neurath and the had coalfired twin units at Westfalen D&E and Eemshaven A&B represent fully one-third of that capacity. The goal is to arrive at a fact-based analysis, so as to be able to take decisions that directly address the issues. Qualification To further increase the efficiency of hard coalfired power plants to 46 % and lignite-fired plants to 43 %, new materials were required for the final superheating stages that would enable to achieve live steam temperatures of 600 C. Suitable materials also needed to be developed for the initial superheater stages constructed as evaporator and membrane walls. These materials would need to possess a higher yield strength at elevated temperatures and, in particular, higher creep rupture strength than the conventional membrane wall material. At the same time, it was important that they could be worked with in the membrane wall as submerged arc-welded tube-fin joints, without requiring stress relief annealing. Materials such as 0CrMo9-0 or X0CrMoVNb9- (P9) were therefore out of the question. In the mid-990s an investigation of new materials as part of an AVIF research project, identifying T24, developed by Vallourec & Mannesmann, as the most promising material for use in membrane pipe walls.

New-build projects employing T24. Specific studies included: FDBR/VGB research project Qualification of materials for use in high-temperature steam generator plants (A 77, period: 994 to 998) research project A demonstration of the long-term properties of welded joints in modern steel for use in steam generators in temperatures up to 620 C (A 29, period: 998 to 200) In addition to those investigations, the material was also used in trial projects such as EON s Scholven power plant, as part of the Comtes 700 project, and in the EnBW plant at Altbach, as a test surface in membrane pipe walls. In terms of T24, investigations centred on its welding qualities in respect of WIG and UP welding, the corrosion performance of unannealed WIG weld seams and the tenacity and creep rupture behaviour of WIG weld seams. In addition to showing that the material s welded seams were capable of fulfilling the requirements placed on the basic material in terms of thermal and creep strength stability, the investigations demonstrated that, thanks to its particular chemical composition, the material could be used even without post-weld heat treatment. For this to be the case, unannealed weld seams must be sufficiently ductile, thermally stable and not crack under welding. At the time the investigations were carried out, it was already known that T24 requires more work if used in membrane walls than its predecessors, 6Mo3 and 3CrMo4-5. The suitability of T24 has now been established through VdTÜV material sheets and its technical supply conditions determined in DIN EN 026, part 2, and the VGB Guideline VGB R 09, among others. For the RWE-projects T24 was selected by the manufacturers as suitable for use in diaphragm pipes. Occurrences of damage In March 200, substantial delays were experienced in commissioning Steag s newly constructed Walsum 0 unit. Numerous leakages were detected in T24 circular weld seams following start-up. High priority was assigned to the event by operators, leading to the first working meeting of VGB being called to address the issue of T24. In August, the previously informal activities of the working group were coordinated by an operator steering committee (VGB LK T24) and three work groups were set up: Corrosion/treat- ment/hot commissioning EEM Subject: material and damage mechanism WES Manufacture Welding techniques/ BoA 2&3 quality assurance/ tests (manufacture and assembly) Subject: manufacturing and testing Alternative cleaning methods Subject: chemical cleaning Those working groups were to gain a more indepth understanding of the damage mechanism and derive appropriate measures to prevent damage occurring. Independently of this, the operators themselves embarked upon their own investigations. In October 200, Vattenfall s newly constructed Boxberg R steam turbine entered service. After only a few hundred hours of operation, however, it also had to be temporarily decommissioned, due to the appearance of numerous leaks. Most recently, the recommissioning of the Walsum 0 plant, in April 20, resulted in substantial damage being caused. At that point in time, RWE s projects were at various stages of completion. While at the beginning of the situation in Walsum, the two BoA 2&2 units were mostly con- Manufacture Assembly st damage Walsum Manufacture Assembly Damage Boxberg nd damage Walsum Assembly Figure 2. reports received during the erection of the RWE projects. 2 VGB PowerTech English version of a paper published in German in /20
3 To the supporting tubes Evaporator Evaporator Start-up vessel To the supporting tubes Superheater Evaporator Start-up vessel 3CrMod4-5 T24 Damage 3CrMo4-5 Welds performed using T24, however, showed that it is indeed possible to employ a bainitic structure in the weld seam and heat affected zone. Precise adherence to the parameters of the processing instructions and no small skill on the part of the welder are required if the processing demands are to be met. Typical descriptions of seams currently being welded refer to them as bainitic-martensitic. F i g - u r e 4 depicts two of the resulting structures: a typical bainitic-martensitic weld metal structure and a structure welded with strict adherence to the parameters and which, like the base material, can be considered bainitic. 6Mo3 Damage mechanism Switching variant A structed, in Westfalen the assembly of pressure parts was due to commence shortly and the production of T24 components for Eemshaven had not yet started ( F i g u r e 2 ). At RWE, suitable measures had to be arrived at, depending on the project phase in question, to lessen the risk of damage being caused during commissioning. Lengthy investigations were entered into, focusing on the use and processing of T24 in relation to the switching variants and parameter windows. Use of T24 Switching variant B Figure 3. Main switching variants and damage hot spots. Different switching variants and material concepts are employed in the plants currently at the construction and commissioning stage. Two switching variants are mainly used. Variant A: the evaporator begins at the entrance to the funnel and ends at the exit from the membrane-wall vertical piping. Variant B: the evaporator begins at the entrance to the funnel and ends at the spiral pipe wall outlet. The membrane-wall vertical piping is employed as a first superheater. In most projects, T24 is used in the final stage of the evaporator wall. In others, however, it is employed from the funnel entrance right through to the evaporator outlet. Furthermore, T24 is used in the first superheater and supporting tubes, as well as being frequently employed in the heating surface of the first reheater. The two plants (Walsum 0 and Boxberg R), in which damage events occurred during commissioning, are, on the one hand, switched differently and, on the other, use materials in a different way. Schematic diagram The different switching variants and most likely places for damage to occur are displayed in Figure 3. Nearly all of the damage is located in the area employed as an evaporator through which water flows in a two-phase mixture. As yet, no reports have emerged from the damaged plants detailing damage to the support pipes or other heating surfaces caused by T24. Processing As has already been mentioned, prior to qualification of T24 it was already known that the material has a short processing window. The microstructure of the base material is described as bainitic. By way of comparison, materials previously used in membrane pipe walls had ferrite structures. Bainitic-martensitic 20mm Bainitic 20mm Source: TÜV Rhld Bainitic-martensitic weld metal structure at the roof for different welding parameters In investigating the cause of damage at the Walsum 0 and Boxberg R plants, hydrogeninduced stress corrosion cracking (H-SCC) was identified as the mechanism. Through interaction within a sensitive material state (e.g. a martensitic structure), hydrogen-induced stress corrosion can lead to the creation of critical stresses and the presence of a chemical corrosive agent (in this case, hydrogen). The preconditions for hydrogen-induced stress corrosion are shown in Figure 5. Reports issued by the VGB task forces, among others, suggested that the damage always occurs at a weld seam and can present itself either parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube. The crack may appear in the material in either a trans-crystalline or inter-crystalline form, beginning on the side in contact with the medium (inner pipe wall). Many cracks appearing obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the tube begin in the root-side heat affected zone, running on a macroscopic Parameter window Preheating temperature Interpass temperature Welding processes Current, voltage Speed Layer structure Bead thickness Figure 4.

Preconditions for hydrogen-induced stress corrosion. Critical stesses Critical stesses as a result of external impact, welding stresses, ect. formation. Autoclave tests were carried out by VGB and the manufacturers and, at a later date, by others. The aim of these tests was to establish the conditions that lead to damage being caused and whether conditions could be identified that would prevent this. One critical area in respect of the formation of hydrogen was identified as a temperature in the region of 200 C. Within this range, an adverse combination of the formation of atomic hydrogen due to the Schikorr effect, increased uptake into the material and the reduced ability of the material to release H + -Ion is produced. In the trials, therefore, a temperature of higher than 300 C was identified at which, given the reduced build-up of H +, the material could release H ions (soaking - hydrogen annealing). In addition, hydrogen formation is also influenced by ph values: higher ph values, for example, can substantially reduce maximum local hydrogen release levels. In addition to preventing/reducing the effect of hydrogen, ways to reduce inner and outer stresses were also the subject of investigation. To reduce stress, two approaches have been identified: Heat treatment at low temperatures subsequent to assembly Low-temperature heat treatment is carried out to control the positioning of external stresses. RWE s internal stress tests were undertaken beforehand at TÜV-Rheinland, using the borehole method. Stress measurements conducted using the borehole method show a reduction in the max. internal stress of approximately 20 %. These findings were later confirmed through X-ray diffraction tests conducted on unit F of the plant BoA 2&3. Stress relief heat treatment of the material carried out at a temperature of approximately 50 C below annealing temperature Heat-based stress relief treatment, as prescribed e.g. in the VdTÜV material data sheet, does not only significantly reduce stress in the welded seam area, it also has a positive influence on the structure of the weld joint. Tests commissioned by the VGB T24 steering committee were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of heat-treating assembly seams in the membrane pipe wall. Even if it will not be possible to implement this development in new-build projects currently underway, it may be of importance for the future. Various investigations are reported in F i g u r e 6, by way of example. C-ring sample Jones sample Heat treatment experiment Source: VGB Source: VGB Source: RWE Figure 6. Investigations at operators and manufacturers. level vertically and straight to the surface through the heat affected zone and welded metal to the surface, without being diverted by the fusion line. Cracks appearing parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube also follow the direction of the stress exclusively. Investigation of causes Investigations have been conducted by manufacturers and operators with the aim of both understanding the causes of the damage and identifying remedial measures that could be taken. The three previously described factors were used as the starting points for investigation: Reduce the influence of the medium, Reduce the stresses, and Influence the structures. Tests were conducted in different laboratories as to the influence of pickling in the causing of damage. The operators in question, manufacturers, VGB and RWE, through TÜV-Rheinland, conducted pickling tests. The aim of these tests was to investigate the effect of the different concentrations of fluoric acid-based pickling solutions, the role of the CL4 inhibitor and the H 2 S connection found in reference samples. In addition, the investigations looked at the influence exerted by hydrogen on magnetite Measures applied in the RWE project BoA 2&3 As has already been mentioned, when the first damage occurred at Walsum, pressure part assembly on the BoA 2&3 project was largely stopped. The following measures were applied by the manufacturers for the project: Reducing external stresses through heat treatment of the boiler already constructed at 450 to 500 C over a 24 to 48 hour period The heating was performed using mobile oil burners located at various levels of the combustion chamber. These measures were accompanied by conversion of the flue gas outlet, to optimise heat treatment, and the installation of a flow of warm air in the entire pressure part, to even out thermal expansion between the heating surfaces and the connecting pipework. Optimised pickling To reduce the influence of pickling as a cause of damage, the T24 areas were omitted during pickling (approximately 25 % of the entire heating surface). Optimised water chemistry in the start-up process For this, a higher ph value was set and the O 2 content of the feedwater reduced to below 20 ppm. The feed water preparation was equipped with an external mobile water treatment with a hydrocine unit to be able to provide extremely low-oxygen water in sufficient quantities. Optimising the start-up procedure An increased temperature gradient was selected for start-up. The gradient was maintained until a steam temperature at the 4 VGB PowerTech English version of a paper published in German in /20
5 Avoid the damage-including medium (hydrogen) Optimised chemical cleaning (pickling) Optimised water chemistry of boiler water Optimised start-up procedure evaporator outlet of > 300 C was achieved. This temperature was maintained over a longer period. The measures were backed up with the aid of an auxiliary steam generator so that, should the burner suffer an interruption, the minimum temperature could be maintained for a certain period by feeding in auxiliary steam. Experience to date using this approach has proved positive, however, it remains to be seen how the plant will perform under full-capacity operating conditions. The measures applied in the BoA 2&3 project are summarised in F i g - ure 7. Conclusions Triggering medium Sensitive material condition Figure 7. Measures applied in the BoA 2&3 project.

Project-specific requirements and the detailed boiler design must be taken into account. Particular attention needs to be paid to: Welding parameters, Welder qualification, manual dexterity, and The supervision of welding work Even in plants already completed, risks can be reduced through the subsequent application of suitable measures. For components currently under construction, strict adherence to the guidelines and greater emphasis on quality assurance can significantly reduce the risk of errors occurring during processing. Intensive investigations are underway through VGB to determine the extent to which further measures applied in the heat treatment of welded seams may further reduce the associated risks. Summary and outlook The lessons learned from the BoA 2&3 project are used as the basis for measures applied during follow-up projects and, together with other learnings, can provide the basis for future projects. Essentially, this lesson-learning process represents an important supporting pillar in RWE s approach to quality management, across all its projects. Key to success will be as it always is ensuring that all organisational, process-related and technical measures are closely coordinated with each other. Effect chains for future RWE projects are displayed in F i g u r e 8. An analogue application of the measures applied in the BoA 2&3 project and the application of further measures by the manufacturers is planned for the Westfalen and Eemshaven hard coal-fired projects. In the first instance, welders will be trained by the suppliers specifically in the use of T24 in manufacture and assembly, to ensure the strict application of welding guidelines. RWE will be stepping up its supervision of manufacture and assembly activities, to allow adherence to the welding guidelines to be more strictly controlled. Stress-relieved annealing of the joints between spiral and vertical tubing will enable the stress levels in these components to be reduced and their structural properties improved. At the beginning of commissioning, the measures already applied in the BoA 2&3 project to reduce stresses through heat treatment at 450 to 500 C and reduce the levels of hydrogen are to be re-applied. It has been shown that RWE Technology has the resources and expertise to deal with the quality problems arising in connection with boiler material T24 over the long term, and to ensure the required sharing of knowledge between the different projects. Thus, RWE Technology is in the position, to react immediately with expertise in key positions to quality problems in the projects. Working closely with project and engineering management, measures have been successfully introduced which have led to a reduction in the risk associated with the described quality problems in current projects.
