Current fleets of conventional and nuclear power plants face increasing hostile environmental conditions due to increasingly high temperature operation for improved capacity and efficiency, and the need for long term service. Additional challenges are presented by the requirement to cycle plants to meet peak-load operation. This book presents a comprehensive review of structural materials in conventional and nuclear energy applications. Opening chapters address operational challenges and structural alloy requirements in different types of power plants. The following sections review power plant

Heat resistant alloys. --- Power-plants -- Equipment and supplies. --- Steam-boilers. --- Electrical & Computer Engineering --- Mechanical Engineering --- Engineering & Applied Sciences --- Mechanical Engineering - General --- Electrical Engineering --- Power-plants --- Equipment and supplies. --- High temperature metals --- Refractory metals --- Superalloys --- Alloys --- Heat resistant materials --- Plants, Power --- Power stations --- Powerhouses (Energy facilities) --- Stations, Power --- Energy facilities
