Oxidation of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Ternary diffusion theory, particularly the concept of diffusion paths on a ternary phase diagram, is reviewed in terms of its application to the problem of binary alloy oxidation. To illustrate this applicability, the oxidation behavior of Fe-Ni, Fe-Cr. and Ni-Cr alloys at 1000°C is examined in detail.
