Abstract
An overview with some details of the form of boiler tube failure known as phosphate corrosion is given. Included are a review of boiler phosphate chemistry, an assessment of the factors generally implicated as causative in phosphate corrosion, a description of key factors in identifying and recognizing when this mode of damage has occurred, several case histories, and comments regarding possible corrosion mechanisms.
