Background
An NCM producer reported accelerated roller degradation near a specific temperature zone.
Unexpectedly, the hottest section of the kiln showed relatively little damage.
Findings
The most severe corrosion occurred around 700–800°C.
This region coincided with:
- Lithium vapor exposure
- Active chemical reactions
- Lithium silicate formation
Root Cause Analysis
At this temperature range:
- Protective silica layers became unstable
- Lithium compounds reacted aggressively
- Corrosion products formed rapidly
This created a high-risk corrosion zone.
Engineering Insight
The most dangerous temperature is not always the highest temperature.
Intermediate reaction zones can produce far more severe material degradation.
