Summary
A Straightforward treatment which describes the oxidation of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. This new edition retains the emphasis on the fundamental theory, and incorporates advances made in understanding various degradation phenomena. Oxidation processes in simple and complex systems are discussed, covering elementary oxidation processes as well as mixed environments and hot corrosion. Methods to control degradation are discussed, including coatings and atmosphere control. The authors provide a logical and expert treatment of the subject, producing a revised book that will be of use to students studying degradation of high-temperature materials, and an essential guide for researchers requiring an understanding of this important process.
