Aqueous Corrosion of Intermetallic Alloys

  • Chapter

Abstract

New engineering alloys based on intermetallic compounds continue to undergo extensive development primarily for high-temperature applications. Accordingly, their strengths and oxidation/sulfidation resistances at elevated temperatures are of paramount importance. However, these alloys will not be continuously exposed to elevated-temperature conditions, and if any detrimental aqueous corrosion occurs near room temperature, their overall performances could be compromised. Consequently, the aqueous-corrosion properties are also of major concern. Moreover, the aqueous-corrosion properties of certain intermetallics in certain aqueous solutions at and near room temperature are sufficiently promising that principal applications may be warranted in these areas.
