Journal ArticleDOI

The morphology and mechanism of formation of porous anodic films on aluminium

TL;DR: The morphology of porous anodic oxide films formed on aluminium in phosphoric acid electrolytes at constant current density or voltage, and under changing electrical or electrolytic conditions, has been studied quantitatively by electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of alloying elements on the development and maintenance of protective scales

TL;DR: In this article, the important principles that determine the establishment, growth and long-term maintenance of protective Cr2O3, Al 2O3 and SiO2 scales on hightemperature iron-, nickel-and cobalt-base alloys are reviewed and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of yttrium additions on the oxide-scale adhesion to an iron-chromium-aluminum alloy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the oxidation behavior of an Fe-27%Cr-4%Al alloy and similar alloys containing 0.023% and 0.82% Y in 1 atm oxygen at 1200°C and found that the oxide formed on the yttrium-free alloy develops a highly convoluted configuration, resulting from lateral growth of the oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-temperature oxidation of alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent developments in the understanding of the oxidation of alloys at elevated temperatures are reviewed, with special reference to binary and ternary alloys upon which many commercial materials are based.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the pitting corrosion of Al byscanning electron microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the pitting of Al, supporting air-formed or barrier-type anodic oxide films, in Cl− solutions is proposed, where the morphology and distribution of attack as pitting proceeds depend upon the changing relative cathode/anode area ratio on the electrode, as well as the degree of polarization of the anodic and cathodic processes.
