Erosion-corrosion of steels employed in the steam-water cycle of power generating plants is reviewed. Data and observations reported in the literature for carbon, low-alloy and stainless steels in high temperature aqueous systems are discussed, emphasizing the role of hydrodynamic and electrochemical factors in this form of flow- dependent corrosion.
