High Temperature Corrosion in Molten Salts

Description

The purpose of the present book is to provide chemical, metallurgical and materials scientists and engineers with up-to-date corrosion data pertinent to academic studies and industrial problems resulting from the effects of pure molten salt and ash/salt deposit environments. The book covers key aspects of corrosion reactions in molten deposits, and provides a wealth of engineering data to help in making a shortlist of candidate materials for high-temperature service under such conditions.
