High-temperature corrosion is generally known as a material degradation process that occurs at the surface of engineering components. In the case of internal corrosion, the corrosive species penetrates into the material by solid-state diffusion leading to the formation of internal precipitates, for instance, oxides (internal oxidation), nitrides (internal nitridation), and carbides (carburization). It is known from numerous publications and technical failure cases that internal corrosion results in a strong deterioration of the properties of a material.
