Abstract
Interest in the study of the oxidation reactions of metals and alloys in gaseous media has grown considerably during the last decade. This is partly due to the significant increase in the range and availability of suitable instrumental techniques, and can in part be attributed to a better understanding of the physics and chemistry of the solid state. Although a large number of practical questions involved in the resistance of alloys to dry corrosion have been satisfactorily answered as a result of studies carried out in an essentially empirical fashion, such methods are inadequate to solve new problems constantly being posed by the younger industries. This state of affairs presents a challenge both to research workers and to engineers to reassess the scientific origins of the current interpretation of the mechanism of oxidation reactions, so that such reactions may be controlled and the difficulties as far as possible surmounted.
