Abstract
The corrosion resistance of stainless steels exposed to humid environment is closely related to the surface oxide film. To date, the formation process and its correlation with the alloy defects are still unclear. The present study, using in-situ atomic-scale TEM characterization, reveals the growth process of oxide film on a fresh steel surface. The oxide formation involves the oxygen adsorption, the inward diffusion into alloy lattice, and the outward expansion of stable oxide film. The metal-oxide solid transformation is found to be promoted by the lattice strain of the alloy. The atomic structures of the oxides are imaged and analyzed.
期刊介绍：
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
