High Temperature Corrosion and Protection Methods: A Review

High temperature corrosion is a worldwide problem in many manufacturing processes such as, mineral and metallurgical processing, electric power generation, waste incineration and heat treating. High temperature corrosion involves the chemical attack of solid materials subsequently leading to the degradation of the desired properties. The material reacts with a gaseous environment consuming the material of interest, usually forming disagreeable reaction products. This paper covers forms of high temperature corrosion and several methods to prevent high temperature corrosion.
