Identification of the corrosion mechanism in a boiler drum by corrosion product analysis

Abstract

The corrosion of boiler drums is intimately linked to the deterioration of the protective oxide film separating the steel substrate from the boiler fluid, which often contains constituents conducive to corrosion. Various forms of corrosion occur in the boiler drums and such occurrences can be due to:
