Combustion environments generated by incineration of household garbage (municipal wastes) as well as industrial wastes are described. Principal corrosion modes in various incinerators are discussed. The corrosion behavior of various alloys in incinerators is presented. The paper focuses on a new commercial alloy based on the Ni-Co-Cr-Si system and its performance capability in various incinerators.
