ABSTRACT

The corrosion of metal and alloys due to environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity, leads to structural damage, which is a significant problem for several industries. Compared to the coarse-grained alloys of the same composition, the mechanical, electrochemical, and oxidative characteristics of nanometallic alloys are noticeably different due to their small grain size. The high-temperature oxidation and electrochemical corrosion of nanocrystalline materials receive very little attention, despite the extensive research and study that has gone into their synthesis and desirable mechanical characteristics. The mechanical characteristics of various nanometals and alloys, different kinds of corrosion and how to defend against them, manufacturing methods, and applications in many sectors have all been covered in this chapter.
