High Temperature Corrosion of Aerospace Alloys.

Abstract

As a result of increased operating temperatures being used in the design of aerospace propulsion systems and airframes, increased attention in recent years has been devoted to the subject of high temperature oxidation and corrosion of structural alloys. The AGARDograph contains summary information on oxidation rates, diffusion, reaction kinetics, engineering information on practical alloys, and tests under simulated service conditions. The document is divided into a basic section and an applied section. The basic section contains data on phase diagrams, diffusion information and thermodynamic information. The applied section deals with data on superalloys and refractory metals. The AGARDograph is intended to provide information, save time and improve the efficiency of workers in the field of high temperature corrosion of aerospace alloys.
