Books by Keyword: High Temperature Corrosion

Description: This book provides the basic concepts and the recent research - in thermodynamic, kinetic and mechanical aspects - of the high temperature corrosion of stainless steels. It also includes the reviews of the effects of alloying elements and water vapour on stainless steel oxidation, as well as the development of stainless steel interconnects for solid oxide fuel cells. This festschrift is published in honour of Professor Alain Galerie as an outgrowth of the Alain Galerie Symposium on High Temperature Corrosion held at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Thailand, on 9 July 2018.

Description: Increased clarity in our understanding of water vapor effects on oxidation is resulting from our recognition that multiple mechanisms are possible, and that distinctions must be drawn between situations where, on the one hand, molecular oxygen accompanies water vapor, and on the other, it does not, and instead free hydrogen can be present. It is a pleasure to welcome the contributions of this new book to this important field. Whilst the existence of a substantial French research effort in the area has been well known, the scale and extent of the effort comes as something of a surprise. The reason for this is apparent in the reference lists provided at the end of each chapter: much of the work is simply not available in the readily accessed literature. The book performs an important service in bringing these results to the attention of the wider research community. Overall, the book succeeds well in its aim of presenting an integrated view of water vapor effects on high temperature corrosion. Its organization into chapters concerned with different alloy classes is appealing, and the contents should prove useful to many readers.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Energy/environmental issues are of increasing importance these days, and improvement of the efficiency of energy conversion inevitably requires materials to be exposed to high temperatures and high pressures in aggressive environments. The present 80 peer-reviewed papers discuss the future prospects for solving materials issues involving elevated temperatures.

This special volume addresses fundamental and practical aspects of high-temperature corrosion and protection. It stresses that devoting attention to an understanding of the corrosion problems encountered by contemporary industry, and providing opportunities for extended interaction, could lead to approaches for improving the performance of materials and protective measures.

The major concern of this book is high-temperature corrosion; a form of surface disintegration that leads to high running costs, as well as to environmental and/or security problems.

Description: Numerous commercial processes operate at temperatures exceeding 500 degrees Celsius. The materials used in high-temperature structures have design constraints which are in addition to those on materials used at, or near to, room temperature. These important additional constraints include time-dependent inelastic strain (creep), thermal stability of the microstructure and high-temperature corrosion. The addition of these constraints to those of low cost, strength, toughness, machinability, formability, weldability, and combinations of these, has led to the intensive development, over the past 50 years, of an extensive group of metallic materials: generally referred to as "high-temperature alloys".

The present book provides a timely update to the current understanding of degradation processes in high-temperature materials, as related to chemical interactions with the environment.
The methods used to combat this degradation - particularly by means of protective coatings and surface treatments - are also analysed in detail.
