Prof. Dr. Christiane Stephan-Scherb researches the high-temperature corrosion of high-performance materials at the BAM

The “X-Cor II” device (X-ray transparent corrosion reactor) was developed to facilitate the investigation of crystallisation processes at temperatures of up to 500 degrees Celsius under real-world conditions with X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

This facilitates the observation of corrosion processes through X-ray absorption spectroscopy. And it is also good for mobile use.

The goal is to gain a better understanding of how materials can be designed to reduce corrosion. This can be used to develop recommendations for how to customise alloys in order to form protective layers under the respective conditions of use.
