Abstract
Aluminium oxide layers grown during high-temperature oxidation on Fe-b ased alloys have been investigated by lateral high-resolution Auger el ectron spectroscopy. Comparison of the results with depth profiles mea sured by secondary ion mass spectrometry shows that the distribution o f minor elements is connected with the formation of local inhomogeneit ies in the oxide layers. These properties are different depending on m inor element concentration and manufacturing conditions of the materia ls.
