    Abstract

    X20CrMoV121 is a 12%Cr martensitic steel which has been used in power plants in Europe for many decades. Superheater tubes exposed for various durations up to 135,000 hours in power plants in Denmark at steam temperatures varying from 450 to 575°C were investigated. Light optical and scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate steamside oxide morphologies. At all temperatures there is a double layered oxide, however, the inner:outer oxide thickness is not always equal. At the lower steam temperature range of
