Gas turbines are a key part of many countries’ power generation portfolios, but components such as blades can suffer from hot corrosion attack, which can decrease component lifetimes. Corrosion is driven by impurity levels ...

Passivation is a common treatment to maximize the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Nitric acid is generally used and involves several ecological problems, citric acid could be a promising and environmentally friendly ...

In the food packaging sector many efforts have been (and are) devoted to the development of new materials in order to reply to an urgent market demand for green and eco-sustainable products. Particularly a lot of attention ...

To address the challenge of climate change, the energy sector is developing novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One route is to increase steam temperatures and pressures (above 650°C and 350 bar). Another ...

To address the challenge of climate change, future energy systems need to have reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased efficiencies. For solid fuel fired combustion plants, one route towards achieving this is to ...

This study examines the fireside corrosion of FeCrAl, NiCr, NiCrAlY and A625 coatings applied by ‘high velocity oxy fuel’(HVOF) and exposed to simulated biomass firing conditions (gas composition CO2, N2, SO2 and HCl). The ...

Pipelines have been installed and operated around the globe to transport oil and gas for decades. They are considered to be an effective, economic and safe means of transportation. The major concern in their operation is ...
