High Temperature Corrosion (ePub)

This invaluable book reviews the state of the art of high temperature related problems pertaining to their utility, microstructure, mechanical properties, actual behavior in different environments, their protection by various kinds of coatings at high temperatures and a new concept of nanomaterials at high temperatures.The book begins with fundamentals of oxidation and corrosion. Various concepts relating to the modification or deterioration of mechanical properties when material is exposed to an aggressive environment compared to an inert environment or vacuum are also covered. Other chapters highlight the behavior of various advanced materials to high temperature conditions, an important high temperature effect called Active Element Effect, and many high temperature coatings and their behavior.Written by world-renowned authors in their own field, this book will be useful for professionals and academics in materials science and nanoscience.Contents:Fundamentals of High Temperature Oxidation/Corrosion (A S Khanna)Degradation of Mechanical Properties of Materials at High Temperatures in Corrosive Environments (A S Khanna)Materials Development Aiming at High Temperature Strengthening — Steels, Superalloys to ODS Alloys (Shigeharu Ukai)High Temperature Corrosion Problems in Re?neries, Chemical Process Industries and Petrochemical Plants (Pasi Kangas)High Temperature Corrosion Problems in Coal-based Thermal Power Plants (A S Khanna)High Temperature Corrosion Problems in Aircrafts (A S Khanna and Vinod S Agarwala)Coatings for High Temperature Applications (N I Jamnapara and S Mukherjee)Advanced Analytical Tools to Understand High Temperature Materials Degradation — Ion Beam Characterization of Aerospace Materials (Barbara Shollock and David McPhall)Role of Nanotechnology in Combating High Temperature Corrosion (R K Singh Raman, B V Mahesh and Prabhakar Singh)Reactive Element Additions in High Temperature Alloys and Coating (D Naumenko and W J Quadakkers)Readership: Researchers, academics, and professionals in surface science and new materials.High Temperature Oxidation;Corrosion;Defect Structure;Sulphidation;Active Elemnt Effect;Coatings;Oil & Gas Materials;Superalloys;Nano-Materials
