The results show that the effect of Si additions on oxidation resistance was more pronounced than for Cr additions. An addition of 4 at.% Cr was insufficient to produce a protective layer, while 2 at.% Si led to the formation of a dense, continuous Al2O3 scale. The thermodynamics and kinetics for Al2O3 layer formation were analyzed by combining CALPHAD and Wagnerʼs theory.
