OPTICORR guide book : optimisation of in-service performance of boiler steels by modelling high temperature corrosion

This Guide Book is intended to assist the prospective user of a novel range of corrosion modelling software that has been designed to assess potential corrosion under high temperature combustion process conditions. The models described have been developed through the course of the European-funded materials research project, OPTICORR, under contract G5RT-CT-2001-00593. It is anticipated that the data and models developed during the course of the project will be of particular use for the following tasks: - Design of new materials for used well-defined high temperature combustion processes - Evaluation of process conditions for the purpose of selecting appropriate materials - Study of failure cases - Education and training.
