ABSTRACT:
A method for lowering the corrosion potential on components formed from carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, nickel based alloys, or cobalt based alloys, and exposed to high-temperature water comprised of oxidizing species, comprising: providing a reducing species in the high temperature water that can combine with the oxidizing species, and forming the component to have a catalytic layer of a platinum group metal.
