| Scope |
Current and future applications in power generation, aerospace, chemical, and other industries require materials that can survive exposure to extreme conditions involving simultaneously (1) high temperatures (nominally >300 °C) and (2) corrosive environments (oxygen, steam, hydrogen, carbonaceous/sulfurous/halide-containing gases, molten species, etc.). Understanding degradation processes is critical for the selection and design of materials, as well as for modeling their behavior in service, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and reliability of high-temperature systems. This symposium invites both applied and fundamental studies—experimental, computational, and theoretical—focused on corrosion behavior and the associated degradation of properties in alloys, ceramics, composites, coatings, and other materials exposed to high-temperature environments. |
