Solid Particle Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion of Materials nears completion

摘要

Solid Particle Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion of Materials, the only book of its kind to help engineers account for this particular type of erosion, may now be ordered at pre-publication savings from ASM International. This 225-page reference source explains in detail how small solid particles carried in gas or liquid fluids can cause significant materials degradation. It reflects the profound advances that have taken place since the 1975 "energy crisis." Operating conditions in energy production and utilization systems have become more severe in recent years due to a number of factors. Among them are poorer quality fuels, more stringent exhaust emissions controls, and also more efficient use of fuels. The end result has been an enormous increase in the amount of materials wastage caused by erosion type mechanisms.
