TIRUCHIRAPALLI, Sept 4: Results of weldability studies on new generation materials being carried out by Welding Research Institute (WRI) will be transferred to shop floor effectively for fabrication of ultra-super critical boilers, according to Mr A V Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL here.
A BHEL press release said today, Mr Krishnan made this observation while inaugurating a workshop on Welding and Consumables for Advanced Materials for Power Plant Applications held in association with Kobe Steel Limited, Japan at the WRI, here yesterday.
Mr Krishnan also pointed out the correction of high alloy steel
used in supercritical and ultra-advanced supercritical boilers is very difficult and it became very critical to develop correct welding process, sequence for distortion control and consumables for welding advanced materials for power plant applications.
He said BHEL had embarked upon building Advanced Ultra Super-Critical Boilers along with Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) and NTPC under the ninth National Mission on Clean Coal Technologies in keeping with the National Action Plan for Climate Change.
While BHEL will design, manufacture and commission the equipment, IGCAR will develop the materials and NTPC will put-up the advanced ultra super-critical boilers, Mr Krishnan added. (UNI)
