Morphologies of uniform adherent scales on binary alloys

Oxidation of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The various scale morphologies arising from the oxidation and sulfidation of binary alloys are summarized. The relationships between simple single-phase morphologies and more complex multiphase, multilayer cases are arranged diagrammatically by defining qualitatively the restrictions on the thermodynamic stabilities and transport properties of the oxidation products which result in increasing scale complexity. Factors which can cause the formation of nonuniform scales are considered briefly. Oxide and sulfide scales on binary alloys of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Al are discussed semiquantitatively in an attempt to identify the important properties which cause changes in oxidation rates and morphologies.
