High Temperature Corrosion in Environmental and Energy Conversion Equipments

Abstract

Wastage of materials manufactured by much effort is social loss, also, prevention of corrosion is important issue to effective use of energy and prevention of pollution. Furthermore, the corrosion can be directly related to safety life on recent people living contact with many machines and plants. High temperature corrosion arise on the social base equipments supporting human life such as energy conversion plants, chemical reactor,. pollution prevention equipment and transportation system, and corrosion phenomenas are somewhat complicated due to influencing man kinds of environmental and material factors.
This paper describes basics of main corrosion reactions, mixed oxidant corrosion, molten salts corrosion and hot corrosion in actual equipments etc. aiming of easy understanding in students and non-professional people.
