A. Paul et al., Experimental and molecular dynamics simulation analysis of lacro(3) precipitation in chromia scales, ACT MATER, 48(11), 2000, pp. 2951-2958
Experimental characterization of grain and grain boundaries of chromia scal
es upon addition of La has been carried out with a variety of techniques. T
he effect of lanthanum addition on the high temperature oxidation is explai
ned based on simulations suggested by the experimental results. The grain b
oundary precipitation mechanism of perovskite phases suggested by our simul
ations is through the extraction of Cr atoms from the oxide scale. (C) 2000
