Abstract
The following oxidation experiments and their analysis are reported: ( i) Time dependence of the oxidation of Fe-wires in ambient air at 1100 degrees C; (ii) Time dependence of the oxidation of (Fe-C) alloy in p urified O-2 at 500 degrees C; and (iii) Time dependence of the oxidati on of (Fe-Cr) alloy in dry O-2 at 800 degrees C. All the measured time dependences reveal saturation effect. A new model for the description and evaluation of experimental data is proposed. It expresses the fac t that the high-temperature oxidation of thin wires and strips follows an exponential law. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserve d.
