2. Oxidation of metals and alloys
Oxidation has been taken as an example for the theoretical study of dry corrosion. These results can be transposed to sulfidation, carburization, nitridation or chlorination.
2.1 Different types of oxide layers
From the first moments following contact between oxygen and an ideally clean metal surface, physisorption of O 2 occurs, followed by dissociative chemisorption leading to adsorbed monooxygen. Two-dimensional oxide...
