Abstract: A range of FeCr binary alloys containing 2–100%Cr was exposed in O2/3%H2O at 1023–1223K to determine whether the presence of the water had a significant effect on oxidation. Oxidation rates were not significantly different from those in dry oxygen and decreased with increasing time of oxidation. The kinetics of oxidation and the oxide structures both suggested that the early stages of oxidation were controlled by lattice diffusion through layers of FeCr spinel for Fe-2 1/4Cr and Fe-8 1/2Cr, or through (Cr, Fe)2O3 scale for alloys containing 16%Cr or more.
