High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 7

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Proceedings of an international symposium held in Les Embiez, France, in May 2008, addressing fundamental and practical aspects of high- temperature (HT) corrosion and protection of materials. The two-volume set features 131 contributions organized into six sections. The first, on materials and coatings for gas turbines, examines lifetime issues, modes of failure, oxidation and hot corrosion, and trends and developments. Articles in the second section—power boilers and incinerators, H2 singas and biofuels production—deal with advanced steam conditions, fireside corrosion, oxy-firing, use of alternative fuels, gasification, high-temperature electrolysis, and thermochemical processes. The third section, HT materials for nuclear processes, addresses various types of reactors—pressurized-water, European pressured, high-temperature, very high-temperature, and fusion—supercritical water-cooled processes, and molten metals and salts. The fourth, HT corrosion in the process industries, focuses on the steel industry, electrometallurgy, glass and ceramics production, refining, and the petrochemical and chemical industries. The fifth, HT corrosion of functional materials and coatings, examines materials for automotive applications, burners, filters, and fuel cells. The final section on fundamentals addresses various mechanisms and new techniques for measurement and characterization of corrosion.
