Abstract
The effect of a superficially-applied, cerium-oxide coating on the non-isothermal oxidation behavior of AISI 304 stainless steel in dry air has been investigated. The heating rate employed was 3 K/min up to a final temperature of 1423 K. The reactive oxide coating not only reduced the reaction rate but also facilitated scale adhesion to the alloy substrate. Post-oxidation analyses of the alloy/scale combination using optical microscopy, SEM, EDAX, and XRD provide evidence for a changeover in the mechanism of oxide growth from the scale/gas interface to the alloy/scale interface for the coated steel.
