Low Quality Fuel Problems with Advanced Engine Materials
Abstract
The ultra high-power, high-efficiency engines of the future will utilize advanced materials including ceramics, composites, and augmented metals. In many cases, these materials may be subject to corrosion by high temperature gases and molten salt deposits resulting from contaminants (e.g., sodium, sulfur, vanadium) in the fuel or engine air. This Memorandum Report gives a short overview of the state of knowledge that exists today concerning corrosion of ceramics and metals by fuel contaminants, and of possible new avenues for research and materials development. It was originally presented as the Keynote Paper for the Session on Hot-Corrosion, Combustion, and Emissions at the DOE- sponsored Coatings for Advanced Heat Engines Workshop, July 27-30, 1987, Castine, ME. Keywords: Coatings, Fused salts, Metals, Corrosion, Sulfidation, Ceramics.
