Abstract
Realizing higher operating temperatures to increase efficiency of future applications for energy conversion and storage while minimizing cost is a challenge for development of high-temperature materials. Simultaneous optimization of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance continues to be a difficult task but is essential due to the need to significantly accelerate the transition between technology readiness levels in the future. Oxidation-induced degradation will be a critical life-limiting mechanism at increased operating temperatures. Suitable high-temperature materials cannot be solely identified by time-consuming experiments and reliable computational methods incorporating the relevant physics of processes must be considered to complement the experimental efforts. In the present work, a review of the methods employed to model oxidation-induced material degradation described in literature will be discussed. Furthermore, their capability to predict lifetime and aid in material selection will be evaluated.
