Four tests, including isothermal carburizing, high-temperature cyclic oxidation, simulated coking, and welding joint performance testing, were conducted to demonstrate the advantages of 30Cr45NiAl furnace tubes over ordinary nickel chromium alloy furnace tubes. The results show that the anti carburizing ability of 30Cr45NiAl furnace tubes at 1 000~1 100 ℃ is more than 40％ higher than that of ordinary furnace tubes. Its oxidation resistance and anti coking performance are also significantly ahead of ordinary furnace tubes. Welding with welding materials produced on a large scale in the market can also obtain joints with good mechanical properties. Finally, the prospects for the use of aluminum containing furnace tubes were discussed, and the factors that currently restricting their large-scale use were analyzed.
