High temperature oxidation is a critical process in the degradation of materials under high-temperature conditions. The enabling theory of oxidation includes the oxidation of pure metals, mixed gas corrosion, and various types of alloy oxidation, such as single-phase scales, internal oxidation, and multi-phase scales. Corrosion by sulphur, carbon, and carbon dioxide are also significant factors. Water vapour can influence oxidation behaviour, and corrosion in complex environments must be considered. Cyclic oxidation, which involves repeated exposure to high temperatures and oxidative environments, is an important aspect of material degradation. Alloy design plays a crucial role in mitigating oxidation and corrosion. This table of contents is provided by Blackwell's Book Services and R.R.
