Cover Story: Iron alloys are widely used in modern industry as structural materials. Since these alloys are often exposed to atmospheric conditions, corrosion becomes inevitable, resulting in the degradation and weakening of materials over time. The enormous cost of the corrosion of iron-based materials has prompted many efforts to devise ways of reducing or preventing it. In our paper, we compared the high-temperature atmospheric oxidation of two iron alloys made by mechanical alloying with different crystallite and particle sizes. We found that, by using an oxygen-induced surface segregation effect, one can obtain Fe-Cr-Si alloy powders that are extremely resistant to corrosion with concentrations of Cr and Si lower than 15 in terms of %. This finding will certainly contribute to the development of a new class of advanced materials for future applications in modern industry. View this paper
