Abstract
The oxidation behaviour of an 18/8 type stainless steel has been studied in the temperature range 873β1258 K (600β985 Β°C) by continous weight gain measurements, metallography and scanning electron microscopy. An initial high oxidation rate was followed by a much slower rate. Duplex scales formed at an early stage of oxidation and the decrease in oxidation rate is probably due to the formation of an ordered chromium rich spinel at the oxide/metal interface.
A ture parabolic rate constant (k~p~) was obtained taking into account the formation of the βhealingβ phase using the Hales model. This gave:

## Abstract Detailed examination has been carried out on two specimens of 18/8 steels representing the extremes of the rates of parabolic duplex scale growth at 600Β°C using metallography, scanning electron microscopy, microprobe and nuclear microprobe analysis. The high growth rate material, vacuu
