High Temperature Corrosion of Stainless Steels in Low Oxygen
... Concerns about global warming and increasing CO2 emissions have motivated increased use of green energy, e.g., wind power, solar power and the use of renewables instead of fossil fuels. In Sweden, the transformation to a sustainable society started as early as the 1990’s, and, today, the use of foss ...
