Abstract
Volcanic environments on White Island, New Zealand and Kuju-Iwoyama, Kyushu, Japan have been used to study corrosion properties of materials which might be used for engineering plant for energy production from deep-seated and magma-ambient geothermal systems. The corrosion chemistry of these natural volcanic features is described with reference to the performance of carbon steels. Models of corrosion are developed using thermodynamic principles and conventional corrosion theory to allow prediction of materials performance in similar environments.
