Along with recent progress in environmental-protection measures, the construction

of waste incineration plants is on the increase. Meanwhile, severe cases of hydro-

chloric-acid dew-point corrosion are occurring in the flue-gas treatment equipment.
Countermeasures Rapid cooling of waste gas Occurrence of severe sulfuric/
against dioxin emission to lower temperature hydrochloric-acid dew-point corrosion

S-TEN1, in particular highly resistant to acids including chloride ions (CR-), is the
steel material best suited for such application environments.
Features of S-TEN1
q Improved hydrochloric-acid corrosion resistance w Excellent hydrochloric-acid corrosion resistance
High resistance to hydrochloric-acid corrosion in waste High resistance to sulfuric-acid dew-point corrosion occurring
incineration and similar facilities in waste incineration plants and heavy oil-fired boilers
High resistance to corrosion caused by sulfuric acid, e Wide range of steel products
including chloride ions (CR-), occurring in coal-fired boiler
flue-gas treat ment equipment and others
Hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheets, electric resistance-
