Abstract
High temperature corrosive environments include attack by oxygen, carbon, sulfur, molten salts and low melting metals. Practical materials solutions to some of these problems exist. In other cases, particularly those involving sulfur in low oxygen environments, and oxidizing molten chloride salts, existing materials of construction are not adequate. A number of high temperature failures, not all resolvable by materials selection, are discussed to illustrate these points.
