High temperature corrosion

by | Dec 28, 2020 | Sin categoría

It is complicated to categorically define high temperature without defining first the specific alloy system. The high temperature for a particular metal or alloy can be approximately 30 to 40% of the melting point. Failures resulting from operation at high temperature...
