What is High-Temperature Corrosion?
Seasonal changes can impact industrial equipment greatly. From cold climates to humid climates and everything in between. These extreme changes in temperature give corrosion the opportunity to harm and attack surfaces. High-temperature corrosion is an attack like no other. It can damage surfaces due to drastic changes in the climate or it can affect equipment that is operating at a higher than normal temperature. What is high-temperature corrosion? This type of corrosion doesn’t depend upon liquid electrolytes and reacts with gaseous atoms that are present in the atmosphere. At what temperatures does high-temperature corrosion occur? Temperatures of 90 or 150 degrees celsius, as well as red heat temperatures of 800 degrees celsius, provide the perfect environment for it to thrive in. High-temperature corrosion is most common in refining, petrochemical, aerospace, heat treating, and automotive sectors. These industries and sectors are vital to our daily lives. Fortunately, there are several ways of preventing high-temperature corrosion. Safekeeping equipment from the dangers of this corrosion begins with protective coatings. Overlay and thermal barrier coatings are corrosion-resistant. They are manufactured to operate in high-temperature settings, making them the perfect deterrent from high-temperature corrosion.
Protecting equipment is vital to any operation. There are a number of ways to ward off high-temperature corrosion. Fortunately, industrial coatings can safeguard your equipment from its effects.
