The material degradation mechanism known as Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) or Erosion Corrosion (EC) is the result of improved feed water and boiler water chemistry in nuclear and fossil power plants in the United States and western Europe. Failures in large bore feed water piping in fossil fired power plants as a result of FAC have not been documented in technical literature. The following paper discusses the occurrence of a feed water line failure in a coal fired power plant in the United States which resulted from of FAC. It also discusses the root causes for this failure.
