Abstract

The conditions for the exclusive oxidation of the most-reactive component during the corrosion of binary, two-phase alloys by a single oxidant are reexamined by using a more correct form of the mass balance for this component. Moreover, the previous treatment is extended to include the case in which the transition falls in the range of alloy compositions corresponding to the stability of the single phase rich in the most-reactive component. The limiting conditions for the transition in the single and two-phase fields are examined and discussed.
