| Abstract |
The low carbon steels were oxidized isothermally at temperatures of 1100-1200℃ in air and CO2/O2 mixed atmosphere for up to 2 hr in air, and their oxidation characteristics were examined. The oxidation characteristics in air and mixed atmosphere were similar. The low carbon steels oxidized quite fast, forming scales that consisted mainly of Fe2O3 and (FeO+Fe3O4) from the surface. Beneath the thick, nonadherent oxide scales, internal oxide precipitates formed. |
