Low silicon carbon steel has been oxidised at varying temperatures in free flowing air using a thermomechanical simulator to control heating and cooling rates. The resultant oxide scales have been studies using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and the phases identified by the differences in the diffraction patterns. The crystallographic textures were calculated from the EBSD data. There is a correlation between the textures of the different phase layers within the scale, which depends on the formation mechanism of the individual phases.

The oxidation of steels is critically influenced by its constituent alloying elements. These alter the classical three-phase model of the external oxide scales and in addition can introduce internal oxidised regions. This paper considers the oxidation of a number of nickel containing Fe based alloys of varying compositions, including stainless steel. These have been oxidised under different conditions to produce a number of scale morphologies, which have been characterised using two SEM based techniques; Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and Energy Dispersive x-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Results have shown that nickel promotes the formation of a fibrous internal scale, consisting of iron oxide particles (or iron/chromium oxide in the case of stainless steel) along grain boundary regions. Nickel is rejected from these oxide particles and consequently nickel content is enriched in neighbouring metallic areas.
