Vanadium Corrosion Studies

Abstract

Vanadium present in certain crude and residual fuel oils, is converted within the burner of the gas turbine engine to the refractory dioxide, which in flight is fully oxidized to the pentoxide. Yttrium oxide, stable in the presence of the oxides of sulfur is identified and verified as a corrosion inhibitor. A chelation process to produce a hydrolytic stable fuel soluble yttrium additive is described.... Vanadium oxide corrosion, Hot corrosion, Sulfidation corrosion, Hot corrosion attenuation, Fuel additives, Water stable fuel soluble yttrium compounds, Chelation.
