Constructional materials & welding electrodes used in power plant

What are the various materials used in power plants construction???
1-Low Carbon Steel IS 2062, IS 1239: For structural steels like plates, angles, channels, beams, platform, walkways & LP steam lines etc.

2-High Carbon Steel SA 106 Gr. B/C, SA210 Gr, B/C, SA 516 Gr. 70: For Boiler pressure parts like water wall panels, headers, economiser coils, down comers, feed water lines, steam drum etc.
3-Alloy Steel SA 213 Gr. T11, T22, T91 and SA 335 P11/P22: Super heater coils and main steam pipe lines.
4-Cast Iron: Travelling grate materials, pulley, coupling etc.
5-Copper: Air conditioning cooling lines.
6-Brass: Surface condenser and oil cooler tubes.
7-Stain Less Steel SS 304, 316, 410 etc: Ejector tubes, surface condenser/oil cooler tubes, control valve stems & valve trim materials
8-Plastics: PVC pipe lines, valves, tanks etc.
9-Steam Turbine
  • ESV: Cast alloy steel
  • HP Casing: Cast alloy steel
  • LP Casing: Carbon steel
  • Rotor: Forged chromium, molybdenum and vanadium alloy steel
  • Blades: Alloy steel
  • Bearings: Liner Babbitt or white metals
  • Labyrinth: Phosphorous, lead and aluminum
