The design, fabrication, and operation of equipment for coal processing plants is presenting challenging problems to corrosion, materials and design engineers.1 Coal conversion and its utilization imposes more severe requirements on process equipment than that generally experienced in the chemical, petroleum refining, steel and power generation industries. More than ever before, an interdisciplinary team effort is required between the materials community and designers to improve reliability and decrease costs of process equipment. Simple upgrading of materials for existing designs may no longer be adequate for desired equipment serviceability. Interdisciplinary action is needed to resolve material problem areas where operating conditions are so severe that they exceed satisfactory performance of materials currently available or economical.
