Abstract
Cast Ti–44Al–6Nb–2Cr–0.3Si–0.1C alloy having good air-oxidation resistance was corroded under 1 atm of flowing 0.2%SO₂/Ar gas at 900-1100 ^oC for 50-300 h in order to examine its corrosion behavior in a SO₂-containing environment, because SO₂ is an industrially important by-product in the field of combustion and processing of fossil fuels......

Abstract
Cr_25.2Al_19.5Si_4.7N_50.5 thin films were deposited on steel substrates by cathodic arc plasma deposition. They consisted of alternating fcc-Cr(Al)N/hcp-Al(Cr,Si)N nanolayers. They were corroded at 900 and 1000 ^oC for 5-100 h in N₂/0.1%H₂S gas atmosphere. Their corrosion mechanism, the structure of the formed scales, and the role of film-constituting elements during.....
