Abstract

Abstract The nature of coal ash corrosion and factors affecting its severity are examined. Laboratory results for iron- and nickel-base alloys from a number of sources are compared. Flue gas composition (SO2 content), coal ash alkali sulfate content, surface temperature and alloy composition are related to corrosion behavior. Results from in situ plant exposures will also be discussed; the role of key alloying elements will be addressed.
