Course description and aims
In this course, students learn the basic thermodynamics and kinetics for understanding of oxidation of metals at high temperature. In the part of basic thermodynamics, students acquire the method of constructing the Ellingham diagram and estimate the chemical stability of metals and oxides by the diagram. In the part of kinetics, students learn the mechanism of scale formation and Wagner’s theory for parabolic scale growth. Finally, students improve understanding of basic thermodynamics and kinetics for high temperature oxidation of metals through the examples of degradation of metals in the industrial processes.
This course provides students with basics of thermodynamics and kinetics for high temperature oxidation of metals. By attending this course, students can understand the degradation mechanism of metals at high temperature and will be able to estimate degradation behavior from given materials and environments. Instructors hope that students improve understanding of degradation of metals in the industrial high temperature processes.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain about oxidation of metals at high temperature and its industrial importance.
2) Construct Ellingham diagram and evaluate the chemical stability of metals and oxides by the diagram.
3) Explain the mechanism of scale formation and estimate parabolic rate constant of scale formation by Wagner’s theory.
4) Estimate degradation behavior of metals at high temperature from given materials and environments.
