Abstract:
In order to understand the fracture reason of the temperature sleeve of the supercritical boiler, the failure reason
of the temperature sleeve of the supercritical boiler was analyzed by means of macroscopic examination, chemical
composition analysis, metallographic examination, hardness measurement, fracture morphology analysis and ANSYS finite
element analysis. The results show that the fatigue crack of the temperature casing is initiated under the action of
alternating stress, and the fatigue crack is extended continuously, which finally causes the casing fracture.
