Abstract The possible high-temperature corrosion modes ofbinary solid-solution alloys forming two immisciblecompounds by a single oxidant include (1) the exclusivegrowth of external scales of the most-noble component, which may or may not be associated with theinternal oxidation of the most-reactive component, (2)the formation of composite external scales containing amixture of the two compounds, or finally (3) the exclusive growth of the most-stable compound asan external scale. The conditions for the stability ofeach scale structure depend on a number of thermodynamicand kinetics parameters, whose effects are examined quantitatively in this paper. Theconditions for the stability of the various structuresand the criteria for the transitions among them are alsoexamined. The maximum number of possible scale structures is four, but it can reduce to threeand, in some cases, only to two. In particular, theinternal oxidation of the most-reactive component maynot occur if the stabilities of the two oxides are not sufficiently different from eachother.
