title: Thermodynamic investigations on materials corrosion in some industrial and environmental processes.
abstract: For better understanding of corrosion schemes and corrosion mechanisms of a wide range of steels/Fe-alloys, Ni-/NiFe-/Co-superalloys, Al-/Mg-/Ti-/Zr-/Sn-/Cu-/Zn-alloys, electronic-packing alloys, medical-instrument alloys and other materials, under various corrosive environments (such as aqueous solutions, non-aqueous solutions, molten salts, high-temperature gases, etc.) during production/application processes and experimental observations, the Thermo-Calc software/database/programming-interface package can be used. This article is aimed at presenting some application examples of thermodynamic calculations/simulations in some specific areas: aqueous corrosions of stainless steels and other alloys, and of high-performance corrosion-resistant materials (HPCRM); molten salt corrosions of stainless steels and high-temperature alloys; high-temperature gaseous corrosions of steels/alloys; formations of oxide-coated protective layers on steel/alloy surfaces; and emergence conditions during oxidation of steels/alloys.
