Control of Corrosion in the Steam Turbine Phase Transition Zone Using Film-Forming Products
This first-of-its-kind field study investigated the use of film-forming products to reduce off-line corrosion in a steam turbine’s phase transition zone. Researchers exposed carbon and stainless steel specimens to low-pressure steam from a feedwater heater on a supercritical unit. Contaminants and various film-forming products were injected into the steam.

Field Guide: Inspection of Steam/Water Cycle Components from a Chemistry Perspective
During power plant outages, personnel can examine major components of the steam/water cycle for chemistry-related or mechanical damage that may affect the chemistry on critical equipment. Using photos and illustrations, this field guide provides instructions on what to look for when performing visual inspections of components that are often only accessible during outages.
