Creep tests: The trial steel ZU1 is better than P92, further improvement by ZU4-7.
Oxidation tests: Oxidized surface after 3000 h at 750°C in air. The oxidation resistance is superior to 9%Cr steels (P92).
The Z-Ultra project is funded by FP7 under NMP.2012.2.2-3 - Advanced materials for high-temperature power generation call with Grant agreement no: 309916.
