บทคัดย่อ
The alumina former radiant coil is typically used as a high-temperature material. It is inevitable that the material undergoes deterioration after prolonged use. This deterioration is primarily caused by damage from the service environment and initiates carburization, resulting in a loss of its mechanical properties. Currently, the damage to the materials is only discovered when they are already broken and a precise non-destructive testing method to determine the extent of material deterioration before the damage occurs has not successfully been developed. Therefore, this research aims to study and analyze the deterioration and the causes of damage to alumina former radiant coil materials. Additionally, the study was conducted to establish a relationship between the extent of deterioration and the impedance phase angle using the eddy current test method. The experimental analysis included both as-received and in-service materials of alumina former radiant coil, which consisted of 45 % nickel by weight, 30 % chromium by weight and 4 % alumina by weight. The additional testing methods included microstructure and elemental analysis, deterioration distance measurement and impedance phase angle measurement. The results indicated that the deterioration was primarily caused by damage to the oxidation layer, facilitating the diffusion of carbon and initiating a carburization reaction on the surface of the coil. These factors unavoidably reduced the corrosion resistance of alumina former radiant coil materials. Furthermore, the reduction in chromium content as materials entered the deterioration stage led to increased hardness in the carburization zone and reduced hardness in the oxidation zone. This deterioration caused the material to exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. It was observed that as the area of deterioration increased, the size of the ferromagnetic regions also increased. Resulting in, the eddy current testing results show a variation in the impedance phase angle. Therefore, the relationship can be concluded that the impedance phase angle increases in the counterclockwise direction, corresponding to a greater extent of deterioration. The benefit of this paper is to forecast the level of the severity of deterioration quantitatively when using eddy current testing. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
