Woodhead Publishing Developments in High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials (Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering)

High temperature corrosion is a phenomenon that occurs in components that operate at very high temperatures, such as gas turbines, jet engines, industrial plants etc. No fluids are involved in the process. Engineers are constantly striving to understand and prevent this type of corrosion. The book examines the latest developments in the understanding of high temperature corrosion processes and protective oxide scales and coatings. Case studies of high temperature corrosion in the petrochemical industry, electronic materials and modern incinerators are given. Developments in high temperature corrosion and protection of materials presents current research from leading innovators from around the world. Key Features: describes the latest developments in understanding high temperature corrosion; presents the latest research by the leading innovators from around the globe; case studies are provided to illustrate key points.
