Funded Activity Summary

Studies on metal dusting : reaction mechanisms and their control. Gases which are supersaturated with carbon can react at high temperatures with steels and nickel-base alloys to destroy them, producing a dust of carbon plus metal and/or metal carbides. The mechanism is not properly understood, and the rate of the process impossible to predict. This program will dissect the mechanism using kinetic studies and electron microscopy of precisely located parts of the reacting system. Ways of controlling the process via alloy compositional changes will be explored.
