Sonderfälle Der Korrosion Der Metalle. Die Mechanischen Eigenschaften Der Stähle -- Wissenschaftliche Grundlagen Und Forderungen Der PRAXIS

Under the earthly atmosphere conditions, i. e. in water or in oxygen, the technically important metallic materials are thermodynamic unstable. Their more or less slow destruction especially by water and oxygen by chemical and electrochemical reactions is called corrosion. The high stability against corrosion of a certain class of metals depends upon the formation of reaction products at the surface which separate metal and the agressive medium.
