a) Macroscopic sample images after 100 h at 800, 1100, 1200 °C and specific mass change for cyclic oxidation in laboratory air up to 100 h at b) 800, c) 1100 and d) 1200 °C. Note the different scaling of the diagram for 800 °C in c.Cr-13.5Si-32.2Mo (at%) solidifies as metastable σ-phase with a dendritic microstructure during arc melting. Heat treatment leads to a decomposition into a fine-lamellar microstructure of (Cr,Mo)ss and (Cr,Mo)3Si. A protective Cr2O3 layer with low growth rates was formed upon cyclic oxidation at 800, 1100 and 1200 °C for up to 100 h. In addition to the Cr2O3 layer, the formation of an internal silicon oxide layer is found for 1200 °C. Oxide scales show parabolic growth rates at 1100 and 1200 °C. Up to 100 h, the oxidation occurred remarkably free of nitridation, spallation or pesting.
