This book explains the fundamentals of high temperature corrosion and oxidation. It will enable engineers and other technical personnel to understand:
How quickly different metals react with different environments at high temperatures
The mechanisms of these reactions
The corrosivity of different environments
How to control reactions or how to protect metals from degradation
How to select the best materials for specific high temperature applications
Introduction to High Temperature Oxidation and Corrosion will be a great asset for workers in the chemical, petrochemical, electric power generation, and related industries. It is also an excellent textbook for graduate and postgraduate courses on high temperature corrosion.
