This special volume addresses fundamental and practical aspects of high-temperature corrosion and protection. It stresses that devoting attention to an understanding of the corrosion problems encountered by contemporary industry, and providing opportunities for extended interaction, could lead to approaches for improving the performance of materials and protective measures. The book is divided into the topics: I. Materials and Coatings for Gas Turbines, II. Power Boilers and Incinerators; H2 Syngas and Biofuel Production, III. HT Materials for Nuclear Processes, IV. HT Corrosion in the Processing Industries, V. HT Corrosion of Functional Materials and Coatings, VI. Fundamentals. The 131 papers covered all aspects of the development, testing and determination of mechanisms of the degradation of coatings. Continued efforts aimed at understanding the mechanisms of formation, growth and failure of protective scales (including approaches to modelling) were another major area of interest, and accounted for nearly a quarter of the papers. A further 20% of the papers are concerned with materials issues linked to current trends in power generation: specifically, oxidation in steam/water vapor, the effects of firing biomass, the use of oxy-fuel conditions, and materials issues associated with nuclear power generation. Overall, the ratio of papers addressing practical problems, to those concerned more with fundamental aspects, was approximately 2:1; which was a good reflection on the intent of the original plan.
