Erosion and Corrosion Mechanism and Control Method of Energy and Chemical Equipment

Dear Colleagues,

In the energy and chemical industry, many cases of equipment failure are caused by solid particle erosion and working fluid corrosion, which have a huge impact on the service economy and operational safety of the equipment. Erosion damage from particles to equipment involves many disciplines such as aerodynamics, multiphase flow, and material mechanics. The corrosion of fluid medium in equipment mainly involves chemical corrosion, electrochemical corrosion and other types of corrosion (such as high-temperature oxidation corrosion, fatigue corrosion, etc.). To tackle the problem of erosion and the corrosion failure of engineering equipment, it is necessary to first study and reveal the mechanism and key influencing factors of erosion and corrosion, and only on this basis can effective control measures be proposed.

This Special Issue, entitled “Erosion and Corrosion Mechanism and Control Method of Energy and Chemical Equipment”, seeks high-quality articles that focus on the erosion and corrosion mechanism and control method of energy and chemical equipment. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Erosion and/or corrosion mechanisms of energy and chemical equipment;
• The development of anti-erosion and/or corrosion-resistant materials and coatings;
• Testing and monitoring technology for erosion and/or corrosion;
• Structure and process optimization methods for erosion and corrosion mitigation;
• Hydrogen corrosion and hydrogen damage.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
