Abstract
The liquefaction of coal to produce clean-burning synthetic fuels has been demonstrated at the pilot plant level. However, some significant materials problems must be solved before scale-up to commercial levels of production can be completed. Failures due to inadequate materials performance have been reported in many plant areas; in particular, stress corrosion cracking has been found in austenitic stainless steels in the reaction and separation areas, and severe corrosion has been observed in fractionation components. These studies have identified alloys that are suitable for critical plant locations. (from authors' absract)
