Problems created by internal deposition in water and steam carrying components of boilers are discussed. Methods of controlling deposition and their related problems are also described. Several case histories are presented which illustrate common, as well as unusual problems created by internal deposits. Failure mechanisms include caustic corrosion, hydrogen damage, stress corrosion cracking, overheating, contamination, and liquid metal embrittlement. Components include tubing from economizers, water walls, generating banks, superheaters, and reheaters.
