MonographDOI
Introduction to the high-temperature oxidation of metals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a solution to Fick's second law for a semi-infinite solid and a rigorous derivation of the kinetics of internal oxidation, as well as the effects of impurities on oxide defect structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of Ni ‐ Cr ‐ Al Alloys Between 1000° and 1200°C
C. S. Giggins,F. S. Pettit +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the oxidation of alloys in 0.1 atm of oxygen has been studied at temperatures of 1000°, 1100°, and 1200°C, and it was found that all of the alloys initially underwent a period of transient oxidation before steady state conditions were established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms for the hot corrosion of nickel-base alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that the hot corrosion behavior of these alloys can usually be characterized according to one of two types of attack: (1) Na2SO4-induced accelerated oxidation; (2) Na 2SO4induced catastrophic oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hot Corrosion of Metals and Alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of hot corrosion are identified for Na2SO4 deposits in terms of the factors that influence the reaction process and it is shown that hot corrosion consists of initiation or incubation and propagation stages.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Oxidation and Hot Corrosion of Superalloys
F. S. Pettit,Gerald H. Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of superalloys at temperatures above about 6OOC were examined and it was shown that the oxide reaction product barriers are stable upon the surfaces of super-alloys by considering how these oxide scales are formed and then how they are destroyed in use.
