The selection of boiler tube materials in the elevated temperature areas of energy producing systems such as fluidized bed combustors (FBCS) is based on the material wastage rates in combined erosion–corrosion environments . Laboratory erosion– corrosion experiments at low elevated temperature (300°C) and low impact velocity (2.5 m/s) were carried out on AISI 1018 carbon steel and sprayed coating specimens. Angular silica quartz particles of...
