Summary	Hot corrosion is one of the foremost issues to the US Navy which uses marine gas turbine engines for both primary and auxiliary power sources in ships. This proposal is for funding to understand the mechanism of this high temperature corrosion of hot section engine components in marine atmosphere. A systematic study of various samples subjected to hot corrosion at the Low velocity atmospheric pressure burner rig (LVBR) at University of California, Irvine will be conducted and various novel methods of alloy surface treatments examined.
