Corrosion in industrial boilers is often associated with localized deposits. The most severe corrosive damage is often beneath the deposit. Waterside deposits can result in tube metal temperatures that are above the safe working limit for low carbon steel. The variable of elevated metal temperature influences interactions between the deposit and corrosion processes under the deposit. Four case histories are discussed.
