Abstract
MOST research on the oxidation of alloys has been done using commercial materials. In recent years, however, there has been a great deal of effort to work with pure alloys in order to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of oxidation of these materials1. This laboratory has been investigating the oxidation of Fe-26Cr alloys and comparing the results with those obtained using stainless steels. This communication describes the high-temperature oxidation behaviour of three vacuum-melted alloys and one commercial steel. The compositions of the materials are given in Table 1.
