Abstract

H igh-temperature (HT) oxidation plays a significant role in various stages of the steelmaking process, including hot rolling. When exposed to high temperatures and oxygen partial pressure, the steel composition near the surface can be altered as alloying elements deplete. Additionally, the characteristics of the oxide scale, such as thickness and phase composition, vary depending on the oxidation conditions. Due to the experimental challenges of studying such rapid processes under extreme conditions, predictive models are necessary to estimate the substrate surface and oxide scale composition as well as the general oxidation rate of the alloy....
