High-temperature corrosion in waste-incineration imposes a complex set of environmental conditions on the materials of construction. The corrodents in the combustion environment may include sulfur, chlorine, sodium, potassium, zinc, lead and many other species. The paper discusses the modes of corrosion in the combustion environments involving several different types of wastes, such as, liquid hazardous wastes, waste water sludges and municipal wastes. In addition, the performance of various commercial alloys in these environments is discussed.
