Title: Steam surface condenser tubes: Watch out for sneaky corrosion

Journal Article · · Materials Performance
OSTI ID:20076115

Using case histories, several of the most problematic corrosion mechanisms involving steam surface condenser tubes and the general chemistry behind them are discussed. They include steam-side and water-side corrosion. Examples of stress corrosion cracking and inlet-end erosion-corrosion also are given.
