Kinetics of Wüstite Formation and Reduction of Manganese alloyed Steel

The oxidation and reduction kinetics of a 1.7 wt.% Mn steel alloy with 0.1 wt.% C was studied in different ?CO?_2/CO mixtures and at different temperatures. The external iron oxide growth, the internal alloying element oxide formation and the reduction of iron oxides were observed with thermogravimetry (TG). The oxidation at 750 ? follows a...
