Microscopy of Oxidation: the proceedings of the Second International Conference Held at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge, in 1991.

Covers the reaction processes from oxide failure nucleation, through scale growth, as well as the possibilities of alloy design for improved oxidation resistance using a wide range of microscopical techniques.

An understanding of oxidation is essential for the study and development of advanced materials, particularly those which must withstand high temperatures. The 56 papers in this volume examine the behaviour of metals, alloys and ceramics when exposed to different environments and discuss the latest analytical microscopical techniques currently used in materials science.
