Oxidation resistance of high‐alloy steels: Part I: ‘Correct metal selection is important in corrosion prevention’ Available to Purchase

Introduction The basic importance of chromium in relation to passivity in the resistance of steels to aqueous corrosion is paralleled by its role as the most important alloying element in practice in securing the high‐temperature oxidation resistance of heat‐resisting steels. It is not surprising, therefore, that these two aspects of corrosion resistance developed together, and that early investigators of the chromium‐iron alloys showed interest in the potential usefulness of these materials for high‐temperature oxidation resistance.
