High-temperature oxidation under time-dependent gas pressure: An application to steel oxidation

Oxidation of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A study on the high-temperature growth of thick wustite films on low-carbon steel under a time-dependent oxygen partial pressure law is reported. The experimental data were interpreted using a general formulation of oxidation under non-time-constant gas activity. Good agreement between the theory and the experimental data was obtained. The physical reasons that justify the change of the oxygen activity at the steel-atmosphere interface as observed during the oxidation process are discussed also.
