Abstract
A laboratory simulation procedure for reproducing high-temperature cra cks found in coal-fired boiler tubes was developed. The procedure desi gn was based on an intergranular corrosion/thermal stress interactive initiation mechanism and an environmentally assisted fatigue crack pro pagation mechanism. Simulation results show the potential of this proc edure as both an evaluation tool for material solutions to the problem and a life estimation procedure for new boiler tube surface modificat ions.
