Abstract
BOC have conducted an extensive comparison of the oxidation behaviour of a variety of steels in air and in non-cryogenic nitrogen without ad ditions. On the basis of the results described, the author makes an ec onomic case for employing the latter to inhibit oxidation in heat trea tments carried out at temperatures above 800-degrees-C.
