Erosion Research on the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy Materials Program Free

Research projects on the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy Materials Program are investigating the mechanisms of erosion and erosion-corrosion of alloys and cermets used in fossil energy systems. The aim is to obtain an understanding of erosion mechanisms that will provide the basis for the development or modification of alloys and cermets with improved erosion resistance. Projects on this program are outlined. Results of recent research activities are presented, and plans for future research are described.
