Rg. Munro et Sj. Dapkunas, CORROSION CHARACTERISTICS OF SILICON-CARBIDE AND SILICON-NITRIDE, Journal of research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 98(5), 1993, pp. 607-631
The present work is a review of the substantial effort that has been m
ade to measure and understand the effects of corrosion with respect to
the properties, performance, and durability of various forms of silic
on carbide and silicon nitride. The review encompasses corrosion in di
verse environments, usually at temperatures of 1000-degrees-C or highe
r. The environments include dry and moist oxygen, mixtures of hot gase
ous vapors, molten salts, molten metals, and complex environments pert
aining to coal ashes and slags.
