Text explaining flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), its causes, mechanisms, and effects. It discusses the dissolution of iron oxide layers on steel due to water or steam flow, leading to increased corrosion and metal loss. Factors like reduced pH and turbulence also affect FAC. Key terms: ductile overload, two-phase flow, turbulence, reduced oxygen levels.
