J. Glascott: graduated from Liverpool Polytechnic in 1973 with a B.Sc. in applied physics. After a study of the tribological behaviour of some Fe-Cr alloys at the Corrosion and Protection Centre, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, he was awarded a Ph.D. degree in 1982. At present, he is undertaking postdoctoral research at the Department of Metallurgy, University of Manchester, involving an investigation of the effects of small concentrations of certain elements on the high temperature oxidation behaviour of alumina- and chromia-forming alloys.

F. H. Stott: is a Senior Lecturer in the Corrosion and Protection Centre, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. His main research interests are in high temperature oxidation, sulphidation and wear, with particular emphasis on the development and breakdown of scales under static corrosion and sliding conditions. Graham C. Wood: holds the Chair in Corrosion Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) where his principal research interests are high temperature oxidation and wear, anodic processes including anodizing and pitting, atmospheric corrosion and aspects of marine corrosion. In 1983 he received the U. R. Evans Award of the Institution of Corrosion Science and Technology and the Carl Wagner Memorial Award of the Electrochemical Society for his research in these areas. For the last two years he has served as Vice Principal for Academic Development at UMIST. Y. Yahagi: received his M.Sc. degree in chemical engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1976 and his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Imperial College, University of London, in 1979. He is a research scientist in Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories. His research area involves the corrosive wear of metallic materials.
