A CORROSION STUDY ON MATERIALS FOR USE WITH PHOSPHORUS AND SULPHUR BEARING FUELS. PART 3. EXAMINATION OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER COMPONENTS

Abstract

The protection offered by oxide films and adhering corrosion products during static tests was not reproducible under combustion conditions. The action of fast-moving gas and/or liquid droplets of metaphosphoric acid led to extremely rapid and high metal loss in the combustion system by erosion as well as corrosion. This report describes the microscopical and surface characteristics of combustion components after exposure to the phosphorus- phosphorus sesquisulphide (PPS) combustion products. The examinations were carried out at various stages of the programme, principally to vive some indication as to the cause of damage.
