Catastrophic carburization (metal dusting) is experienced in several industries in process equipment that is exposed to gases containing carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen, (H2) and other hydrocarbons typically in the range of about 450°C (842°F) to 800°C (1472°F). This paper presents an overview of the literature related to metal dusting and discusses environmental and materials factors that reportedly affect this form of corrosion.
