Developments in High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of

High temperature corrosion is a phenomenon that occurs in components that operate at very high temperatures, such as gas turbines, jet engines, industrial plants etc. No fluids are involved in the process. Engineers are constantly striving to understand and prevent this type of corrosion. The book examines the latest developments in the understanding of high temperature corrosion processes and protective oxide scales and coatings. Case studies of high temperature corrosion in the petrochemical industry, electronic materials and modern incinerators are given. It presents current research from leading innovators from around the world.Wei Gao is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. He and his colleague Dr. Zhengwei Li, a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Auckland, have been heavily involved in research into high temperature oxidation and corrosion theories, testing and the development of protection techniques and coatings for industrial applications.
