Research Situation of Welding Performance for P92 Heat Resistant Steel

Abstract

In this paper, the welding performance of P92 ferritic heat resistant steel in recent years was introduced. P92 steel was a ferritic/martensitic steel, which had been brought to commercial maturity during the last decade due to its excellent high temperature performances. However, the welding related problems of P92 steel was gradually exposed with the wide application, causing a serious impact on the production and operation of boiler unit. Therefore, Strengthening research and development of suitable welding process and post weld heat treatment process that can lead P92 heat-resistant steel to being better serve in the power industry for our country will be the focus of metal workers in the next step.
