“…The chemical resistance of ternary carbides to some chemicals, i.e. NaOH, HCl and H 2 SO 4 (Jovic et al , 2006), Na 2 SO 4 (Lin et al , 2006a(Lin et al , , 2006bLiu et al , 2003a) and a eutectic K 2 CO 3 and Li 2 CO 3 mixture (Liu et al , 2003b), and the degradation of mechanical properties have been reported. Resistance to various hot corrosion attacks will therefore be identifi ed and studied.…”
