High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 7

Description

This book contains selected, peer reviewed papers from 7th International Symposium on High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials, Les Embiez, France, May 18-23 2008. This volume addresses fundamental and practical aspects of high-temperature corrosion and protection. It stresses that devoting attention to an understanding of the corrosion problems encountered by contemporary industry, and providing opportunities for extended interaction, could lead to approaches for improving the performance of materials and protective measures. The 131 papers cover all aspects of the development, testing and determination of mechanisms of the degradation of coatings. Continued efforts aimed at understanding the mechanisms of formation, growth and failure of protective scales were another major area of interest, and accounted for nearly a quarter of the papers. A further 20% of the papers are concerned with materials issues linked to current trends in power generation. Content:
