Erosion Resistant Steel
| 1. | Title of Product/Design/Equipment. | Erosion Resistant Steel |
|
| 2. | IPR Status Patent/Abroad IPR Details | Patent Application No: 2653DEL2011 | |
| 3. | Application/Uses | Hydro-turbine | |
| 4. | Salient Technical Feature including Competing Feature | The alloy steel has multiphase steel and developed based on TRIP effect; hence can be used at room temperature as well as lower temperatures. The steel is developed through normal casting and heat treatment process. Itl has similar hardness and tensile strengths as that of presently used cast 13%Cr-4%Ni steel and has higher impact toughness (3 times as that of the 13%Cr-4%Ni) at room temperature as well as zero degree temperature. This steel exhibits higher erosion resistance as well as cavitation resistance as required for underwater components of turbine hydro generators | |
| 5. | Level/Scale of Development | 40 kg in lab scale; component of ~100kg was prepared in actual and was tested at hydelpower plant during monsoon | |
| 6. | Environmental Consideration | Not Applicable | |
| 7. | Status of Commercialization | 40 kg in lab scale; component of ~100kg was prepared in actual and was tested at hydelpower plant during monsoon | |
| 8. | Major Raw Material to be Utilized | Low carbon steel scrap, low carbon ferro alloys | |
| 9. | Major Raw Plant Equipment and Machinery Required | Melting furnace, casting bay, heat treatment furnace, spectroscopy, machining equipments | |
| 10. | Techno-Economics | A component of ~100 kg costed ~ Rs.10 Lakhs | |
| 11. | Technology Package | (a) Process-Know-how, (b) Details of equipment, (c) Plant Layout & (d) quality assurance methods. Assistance in setting up the plant on separate terms | |
