β¦ Synopsis
This work shows the role of oxygen pressure on growth kinetics, morphology, phase composition and texture of oxide scale in the oxidation of niobium sheets at 900Β°C. The particular morphology observed at low pressure shows the existence of competition between edge and surface growth mechanisms. Pressure and conversion rate influence the nature of preferential orientations of the Nb,O, oxide layer: a [ 1 lo] fibre axis is stabilized at high pressure but, at low pressure, the higher is the conversion rate, the more evident is this fibre axis. This behaviour is observed not only after cooling but also in situ. At high pressure, the evolution is not only temporal but also spatial: with increasing distance from the metal/oxide interface, a gradual transition from more oriented to randomly oriented layer is observed.

## Abstract If the mechanism of formation of alkenes, the main primary products of the combustion of alkanes above 1000 K, is now well understood, their ways of degradation have been much less studied. Following a previous modeling of the oxidation of propene in a static and a jetβstirred reactors
The activation energy, H, the activation volume, w\*, and the frequency factor, Y, for the plastic deformation of niobium at low temperatures (T < 0.2 T,) were derived from creep tests. The values of H and e\* for r\* = 1 kg/mm2 were 0.75 eV and 47bS respectively, decreasing with increase in stress.
