Identify the critical gaps in understanding of the various forms of corrosion, and select those that might have the most far-reaching or transformative consequences. This mechanistic approach could be divided between classical aqueous metallic corrosion, corrosion issues related to non-metallic materials, and non-aqueous metallic corrosion such as high-temperature gaseous oxidation. 

An understanding of oxidation enhances the understanding of other types of high-temperature gaseous mechanisms [5-7], Oxidation is often responsible for part, or all, of an engineering alloy s resistance to attack fix>m these other gaseous environments.

There are well over 100 gaseous and aqueous phase reactions that can lead to acid formation and more than fifty oxidizing agents and catalysts may be involved. However, in the simplest terms sulfur in fuels is oxidized to SO2, and SO2 in the atmosphere is further oxidized and hydrolyzed to sulfuric acid. Most nitric acid is formed by the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) to NO. (NO and NO2) during high temperature combustion, followed by further oxidation and hydrolysis that produces nitric acid in the atmosphere. These materials can be dry-... 

The outstanding characteristics of the noble metals are their exceptional resistance to corrosive attack by a wide range of liquid and gaseous substances, and their stability at high temperatures under conditions where base metals would be rapidly oxidised. This resistance to chemical and oxidative attack arises principally from the Inherently high thermodynamic stability of the noble metals, but in aqueous media under oxidising or anodic conditions a very thin film of adsorbed oxygen or oxide may be formed which can contribute to their corrosion resistance. An exception to this rule, however, is the passivation of silver and silver alloys in hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids by the formation of relatively thick halide films. 

The decomposition described in Equation (146) takes place at relatively low temperatures hence, thermal treatment at a relatively slow temperature rate can be sufficient in order to significantly reduce fluorine levels in the final oxides. Nevertheless, treatment at a high temperature rate can lead to another mechanism of ammonium fluoride decomposition yielding gaseous ammonia and molten ammonium hydrofluoride according to the following scheme ...
