Synopsis

This volume by Michael Schutze, a world leader in this area of research, is the first volume to be published in the series. The formation of oxide layers is one of the most important areas of corrosion science and the author brings together for the first time in an English language text, work which has, until now, remained scattered. Contents: Basic Requirements for the Protective Action of Oxide Scales; Development of Oxide Scales in High Temperature Technology; Mechanical Stresses in Oxide Scales and their Causes; Deformation Behaviour and Deformation Mechanisms in Oxides; Damage to the Oxide Scale Resulting from Mechanical Stresses; Healing of Oxide Scale Damage; Depletion by Oxidation and Crack Healing of Alloying Elements forming Protective Scales. This book is invaluable for researchers working on the formation and behaviour of oxide layers, for those working on the storage, transport and use of corrosive materials and for industrial chemists, engineers, defence and materials scientists. The Institute of Corrosion and Wiley Series on Corrosion and Protection provides compelling volumes on the science and engineering technology of corrosion and protection. The volumes cover the whole range of knowledge and experience in the field from basic teaching texts at the undergraduate or practising technologist level to state-of-the-art volumes for postgraduates and experienced corrosion engineers. All volumes in the series are reviewed and endorsed by the Institute of Corrosion ensuring their accuracy and technical excellence are to the highest standard.

About the Author

Michael Schutze, born in 1952, studied materials sciences at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg from 1972 to 1978, then joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of the DECHEMA as a research associate. He received his doctorate in engineering sciences from the RWTH in Aachen in 1983, completed his habilitation in 1991, becoming a member of the external teaching staff of the RWTH. Since 1998, he holds a professorship there. He was appointed director of the Karl Winnacker Institute in 1996 and Chairman of the executive board of DECHEMA Forschungsinstitut in 2012. He is recipient of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Prize, the Rahmel-Schwenk medal, the Otto-von-Guericke Prize, the Cavallaro medal, the U.R. Evans Award, the Khwarizmi Award and the UNIDO Award, past Chairman of the Gordon Conference on Corrosion, editor of the journal Materials and Corrosion, Past-President of the European Federation of Corrosion, Past-President of the World Corrosion Organization and Chairman of the Working Party Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products of the European Federation of Corrosion.
