Abstract

Oxidation and corrosion are the leading causes of degradation and failure of metallic materials. Future alloy development requires the incorporation of corrosion resistance into alloy design and processing, and this begins with attaining a fundamental insight into dynamic reaction mechanisms and kinetics between a metal and aggressive environments. With recent advances in environmental transmission electron microscopy, there have been increased efforts to apply this approach to atomically probe the microscopic mechanisms that govern the oxidation and corrosion behavior of metallic materials. Consequently, fundamental insights have been obtained in understanding the underlying processes of oxidation and passivation, including active sites, surface restructuring, oxide/metal interface dynamics, and microstructure and phase evolution. In addition, we discuss ongoing and future developments that are expected to significantly advance the field of high-temperature oxidation and corrosion.
