Promising advancements for efficient coal power generation by IITB researchers
Researchers conducted experiments on a new nickel alloy, Alloy 617, which showed resistance to oxidation in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. This can help reduce environmental impacts and increase efficiency in coal-based power plants. Alloy 617 was tested in a simulated Advanced Ultra Supercritical (AUSC) environment and showed promising results, with negligible precipitation of aluminium oxides. The alloy could be used for superheater and reheater tubing in AUSC technology. Further research is needed to ensure long-term reliability under continuous operation. This collaboration was funded by the Government of India and involved IGCAR Kalpakkam, NTPC, BHEL, and IISc Bangalore.
