David J. Young: High Temperature Corrosion and Oxidation of Metals Elsevier Corrosion Series 1, Series Editor: Tim Burstein. Department of Materials and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, UK

摘要

The high-temperature oxidation and corrosion of a material is a highly complex process that depends on a multitude of factors, ranging from chemical thermodynamics through to kinetics coupled with mechanical aspects. And adding to understanding these factors is the application of advanced materials characterization techniques. Thus, providing a succinct yet detailed treatment of high-temperature oxidation and corrosion processes is a formidable challenge. David Young's recently published High Temperature Corrosion and Oxidation of Metals impressively meets this challenge to an extent that heretofore has not been achieved. This is an outstanding book that will become an instant classic and a cornerstone for the research and teaching of high-temperature corrosion processes. Indeed, the book is a welcome addition to the field, complementing established books (e.g., Lai's quite practical High Temperature Corrosion and Materials Applications and Birks, Meier and Pettit's fairly basic Introduction to the High Temperature Corrosion of Metals) by delving into details on mechanisms and inferences.
