This paper reviews the various types of oxidation processes occurring with pure metals and gives explanations for the varying time-temperature-oxidation rate relations that exist for copper, tungsten, zinc, cadmium, and tantalum.

A straightforward treatment describing the oxidation processes of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. This 2006 second edition retains the fundamental theory but incorporates advances made in understanding degradation phenomena.

As far as possible all new theoretical concepts and experi mental data published before 1963 have been quoted and discussed under the theoretical viewpoint of this book.

Experimental programs concerned with the oxidation of titanium and its alloys are reviewed and results compared with those predicted by theory.

This text for graduate and post graduate students covers fundamentals of high temperature corrosion and related topics.

The book is concerned with understanding the fundamental mechanisms of high temperature alloy oxidation.
