The kinetics of oxide formation in the presence of water vapour are discussed and compared
with oxidation in dry atmospheres. The main protective oxide systems are considered, ie …

Oxidation kinetics and microstructural evolution of cold sprayed Cr coatings on Zircaloy-4 at
1130–1310° C in flowing steam at atmospheric pressure have been studied. The study is …

To improve the high-temperature steam oxidation resistance of zircaloy-4 substrate, thick Cr
coatings were successfully prepared on zircaloy-4 via atmospheric plasma spraying. The …

The spontaneous formation of oxide nanowires (and whiskers) from the oxidation of metals
is a well-established phenomenon that has, however, long resisted interpretation. Here we …

We propose a simple method for the efficient and rapid synthesis of one-dimensional
hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) nanostructures based on electrical resistive heating of iron wire under …

The transient oxidation stage of single crystal (001) NiAl was investigated using scanning
electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and high …

The oxidation behavior of pure chromium and ODS-Cr alloys in Ar-H 2-H 2 O and Ar-O 2-H 2
O was studied at 1000° C. At high oxygen potentials, the addition of H 2 O to the gas had …

The oxidation of iron has been studied at low temperatures (between 260 and 500° C) in dry
air or air with 2 vol% H 2 O, in the framework of research on dry corrosion of nuclear waste …

The development of ultrathin barrier films is vital to the advanced semiconductor industry.
Graphene appears to hold promise as a protective coating; however, the polycrystalline and …

Under CO 2 exposure at an intermediate temperature, typically 550° C, 9Cr–1Mo steel forms
a duplex oxide scale made of an outer magnetite layer and an almost-as-thick inner Fe–Cr …
