Coal-ash corrosion is a problem that has been plaguing the coal-fired boiler industry for half a century. This report attempts to explain the corrosion mechanism and offers engineering data for a wide variety of engineering alloys and exposure conditions. First, a background is given of a recent laboratory test on coal-ash corrosion. This work encompassed temperatures from 600 to 750{degrees}C (1112 to 1382{degrees}F); alkali sulfate concentrations from 2.5 to 75 wt%; SO{sub 2} levels from 0.1 to 1.0 vol%; and a wide variety of alloys, claddings, and coatings.
