Corrosion behaviour is one of the most poorly understood characteristics of ceramics. A balanced mixture of scientists from material science, metallurgy, physics, chemistry and mineralogy sum up the state of the art of measurement and modelling and reveal future research directions. The book reviews the theory of corrosion of ceramics, including the diffusion of gases and the predictions of thermodynamics; it discusses critically the kinetic models and representation tools for layer growths and material destruction. Corrosion of nitrides, carbides and oxides by simple and complex gases (O2, H2O, SO2, halides) and melts (ionic and metallic) reveal current measurement and modelling methods, advanced experimental techniques, such as laser diagnostics, TV holography, Raman spectroscopy and NDE surface methods. Frontier areas (e.g. the modelling of porous materials corrosion and protection) are revealed. For scientists and engineers in materials science, dealing with ceramics and their application. A valuable source for research students, solid state physicists and physical chemists.
Includes annual cumulative index of inventors and patentees.
This book contains nineteen of the twenty papers which were pre sented at the conference on "Heterogeneous Kinetics at Elevated Tem peratures" held on September 8, 9 and 10, 1969 at the University of Pennsylvania. The papers are concerned primarily with the kinetics of inter facial reactions between the gaseous phase and a condensed phase and include pertinent topics in microscopic and macroscopic trans~ port phenomena. Several of the more recent advances in experimen tal techniques are covered, since progress in the interpretation of kinetic phenomena seems to be intimately connected with advances in experimental method. The discussion after each paper, as well as the general discussion at ...
