...Vadim Verlotski; Rudolf H. Stanglmaier; Günter Moormann; Ralph Geraets Many marine and stationary engines operate on fuels that contain corrosive elements, with the result that some highly loaded combustion chamber components must be replaced frequently. Märkisches Werk, GmbH (MWH) has pioneered...

... particle precipitation, growth, and maturing process was observed for both alloys, which corresponds to the changes of the materials’ mechanical properties. Few changes in grain boundary character distribution and grain size distribution were observed after aging. In addition, high temperature corrosion...

...M. D. Pandey; D. Lu; D. Komljenovic Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) is a serious form of degradation in primary heat transport piping system (PHTS) of the nuclear reactor. Pipes transporting hot coolant from the reactor to steam generators are particularly vulnerable to FAC degradation...

...John M. Pietralik; Chris S. Schefski The three groups of parameters that affect flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) are the flow conditions, water chemistry, and materials. Nuclear power plant (NPP) data and laboratory tests confirm that, under alkaline water chemistry, there is a close relationship...

... systems for transmutation applications. However, lead alloys are corrosive toward structural materials. The main parameters impacting the corrosion rate of Fe–Cr martensitic steels (considered as structural materials) are the nature of the steel (material side), temperature, liquid alloy velocity...

... mm , respectively. These large deposits from coal and petcoke were found to detach readily from the turbine material with thermal cycling and handling. The smaller biomass deposit samples showed greater tenacity in adhering to the TBC surface. In all cases, corrosive elements (e.g., Na, K, V, Cl, S...

Despite joint ownership of both engine variants with the Royal Netherlands Navy, there was no clear...

...E. Rocca; P. Steinmetz; M. Moliere Since the 1970s, nothing substantially new has been published in the gas turbine community about the hot corrosion by vanadium and its inhibition, after the “inhibition orthodoxy” based on the formation of magnesium vanadate, was established. However...

...R. L. McAlpin; P. L. Talley; H. L. Bernstein; R. E. Holm The common failure modes of variable inlet guide vanes (VIGVs or IGVs) on industrial gas turbines are reviewed. These mechanisms include corrosion, cracking, and wear of the IGVs, their bushings and thrust washers. A new mechanism for IGV...
