Hot Corrosion of Metals, Alloys and Ceramics.

Abstract

A knowledge of the mechanism of accelerated oxidation due to the presence of sodium sulfate, called 'Hot Corrosion', on metals is fundamental to the design and improvement of jet aircraft gas turbines. The reaction/vaporization behavior of sodium sulfate on hot pressed oxides and on platinum was studied using continuous weight change versus time measurements. In addition, the hot corrosion behavior of TD Nickel-Chromium was also studied using continuous weight change versus time measurements. The major accomplishments of the research effort are summarized and the publications generated under this program are listed. (Author)
