In waste incinerators, heat resistant cast steel grates and side wall plates are exposed to uncontrollable temperatures up to approx. 1000°C and also to various corrosion attacks. Considerable temperature gradients may generate cracks, elevated Cl‐contents or S‐contents will produce high loss of wall thicknesses. Since failures may result from very different causes, all‐round recommendations as to material selection cannot be given.
