...Ho Lun Chan; John R. Scully The work identifies the conditions for thermodynamically favored spontaneous metal corrosion using potential-activity diagrams tailored for high-temperature molten fluorides. These diagrams provide insights into the thermodynamic phase stability of both solid...

...Wei Zhang; Bruce Brown; David Young; Stephen Smith; Sytze Huizinga; Marc Singer The present work studies pit propagation in marginally sour environments and proposes a credible mechanism. Both thermodynamic calculation and experimental measurement confirmed that H₂S can be oxidized...

...Krista R. Limmer; Kristen S. Williams; Joseph P. Labukas; Jan W. Andzelm The effect of dilute alloying additions on the cathodic reaction thermodynamics occurring on the magnesium basal (0001) surface was studied using a first principles approach. The stability of alloying additions on the Mg(0001...

... . This is because the adsorption of Bi significantly reduces the GB energy ( based on a prior estimation ¹⁷ ) so that at the chemical (thermodynamic) equilibrium: It should be pointed out that Equations ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) are isotropic approximations for GB wetting, which may be used to assess...

... to an implicit solvent medium. Several electrochemical reactions were studied on the Mg surface, and it was found that dissociation of adsorbed water is thermodynamically favorable, and that the Mg(0001) surface has multiple ‘active sites’ that can accommodate adsorbed hydroxyl groups (*OH). This is similar...

...A. Anderko; S.J. Sanders; R.D. Young A method was developed for construction of stability diagrams for metals in the presence of realistically modeled aqueous solutions. The method was based on a comprehensive thermodynamic model that combines the Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) equation of state...

...S.K. Chawla; J.H. Payer A thermodynamic perspective of the initial stages of copper tarnishing in moist air-SO₂ is presented. Previous experimental work has shown that in such a system the initial tarnish film consists mostly of a mixture of copper(l) oxide and copper(l) sulfide...
