In this research, a thin layer of Cr was coated on the pure Ni and Inconel 601 by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in order to study the effect of Cr on the oxidation behavior at high temperature. Cr coated Inconel 601, which was oxidized at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, formed a protective $Cr_2O_3$ oxide layer and the resistance to isothermai oxidation was improved. On the other hand, oxidation resistance of Cr coated Inconel 601 at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was not significantly improved, probably due to the formation or insufficient $Cr_2O_3$ layer. But, when oxidized at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, Cr coated Inconel 601 improved isothermal oxidation resistance by the formation of continuous $Cr_2O_3$ external scale and by the development of $Al_2O_3$ subscales. Cr coated Ni formed inner layer of $Cr_2O_3$ within almost pure NiO, which provided additional cation vacancies, thus increasing the mobility of Ni ions in this region. It is believed that this doping effect resulted in an increase in the observed oxidation rate compared with pure Ni and did not improve the oxidation resistance.

In this study, we investigated the inhibition effects of single and mixed heavy metal ions ($Zn^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;and\;Cd^{2+}$) on iron oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Effects of metals on the iron oxidation activity of A. ferrooxidans are categorized into four types of patterns according to its oxidation behavior. The results indicated that the inhibition effects of the metals on the iron oxidation activity were noncompetitive inhibitions. We proposed a reduced inhibition model, along with the reduced inhibition constant ($\alpha_i$), which was derived from the inhibition constant ($K_I$) of individual metals and represented the tolerance of a given inhibitor relative to that of a reference inhibitor. This model was used to evaluate the toxicity effect (inhibition effect) of metals on the iron oxidation activity of A. ferrooxidans. The model revealed that the iron oxidation behavior of the metals, regardless of metal systems (single, binary, ternary, or quaternary), is closely matched to that of any reference inhibitor at the same reduced inhibition concentration, $[I]_{reduced}$, which defines the ratio of the inhibitor concentration to the reduced inhibition constant. The model demonstrated that single metal systems and mixed metal systems with the same reduced inhibitor concentrations have similar toxic effects on microbial activity.

The high-temperature oxidation behavior of Cr-Mo steel AISI 4115 in air at different temperatures (600, 850, 950℃) for 120 min was studied by mass gain analysis, phase analysis (optical microscopy, electron probe micro-analysis, x-ray diffraction) and hardness measurement of each iron oxide-phase. The oxidation scales that formed on oxidation process consisted outer layer (Hematite), middle layer (Magnetite) and the inner layer (Chromite). In the case of 850 and 950℃, the oxidation mass gain per unit area of AISI 4115 steel increased according to the logarithmic rate as atmospheric pressure increased. Especially, It has been observed that with an increase in the atmospheric pressure at 600℃, the oxidation mass gain per unit area changed from a linear to logarithmic relationship.

Oxidation behavior on the surface of Nd-Fe-B ribbon alloy has been studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. In the incipient stage of oxidation on the surface of "as-received" ribbon Nd-oxide film was formed from the fast oxidation of Nd and Fe was metal state in bulk. In process of oxidation time Fe was more abundant in the outmost surface of ribbon from the defused Fe through Nd-oxide film and layer structure of oxidation film was formed.

Surface oxides and intergranular (IG) oxidation phenomena in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration were characterized to obtain clear insight into the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) behavior upon exposure to pressurized water reactor primary water. When hydrogen concentration was between 5 and 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O, NiFe₂O₄ and NiO type oxides were found on the surface. NiO type oxides were found inside the oxidized grain boundary when hydrogen concentration was 5 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. However, only NiFe₂O₄ spinel on the surface and Ni enrichment were observed when hydrogen concentration was 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. These results indicate that the oxidation/reduction reaction of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can considerably affect surface oxidation behavior. It appears that the formation of NiO type oxides in a Ni oxidation state and Ni enrichment in a Ni reduction (or metallic) state are common in primary water. It is believed that the above different oxidation/reduction reactions of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can also significantly affect the resistance to PWSCC of Alloy 600.

In order to study for corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel with oxidation layer. Experiments were done with various NaCl concentrations and with immersion time in simulated concrete pore solution(SPS) the characteristics of corrosion behavior were measured by polarization resistance method and cyclic potentiodynamic method. reinforcements were coated by epoxy except corrosion without oxidation layer and it also showed two anodic-nose. by the result of potention dynamic test the potential curve shift to low with time and anodic-nose was appeared with 3% NaCl solution after 15 days. By result of cyclic Potentiodynamic test the type of corrosion was different accoding to concentration.

It is well known that the formation of $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and/or other oxides at the steel surface during the annealing process deteriorates the surface quality of galvanized steels. It is important to minimize oxide formation during the annealing process for the superior surface quality of galvanized steels. In order to minimize the oxide formation on the steel surface, antimony was chosen as an alloying element to the commercial steels. Then, the effect of alloying element on the oxidation behavior was investigated. A small amount of antimony was added to two types of steels, one with 0.1% C, 1.0% Si, 1.5% Mn, 0.08% P, and the other with 0.002% C, 0.001% Si, 0.104% Mn, 0.01% P. Then, the oxidation behavior was investigated from $650{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in the air. The addition of antimony to the steels retarded the outward diffusion of elements during the oxidation, resulting in reduction of the oxidation rate.

The oxidation behavior of UO$_2$pellets was studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer and an XRD in the temperature range of 300 to 550$^{\circ}C$ in air. From XRD studies it is found that UO$_2$is converted to U$_3$O$\_$8/ and the weight gains of UO$_2$specimen are characterized by S-shape curves. After complete oxidation the specimens broke into fine powder and the average weight gain was about 3.93 wt%. The activation energy of 50% conversion of UO$_2$to U$_3$O$\_$8/ is 81.6 kJ/mol and the oxidation rate per unit time was found to be as follows dw/dt=6.54${\times}$10$\^$6/ e (equation omitted), wt%/h : at 50% conversion of UO$_2$into U$_3$O$\_$8/ where w, t and T were wt% gain, conversion time and temperature, respectively.

The SiC/MoSi2 composite materials were fabricated by infiltrating the mixture of molybdenum disilicide and metal silicon(MoSi2+Si=100) to a porous compact of silicon carbide and graphite under the vacuum atmosphere of 10-1 torr. The specimen were oxidized in dry air under 1 atm at 130$0^{\circ}C$~150$0^{\circ}C$ for 240 hours. The oxidation behavior was evaluated by the weight gain and loss per unit area of the oxidized samples. Also, SEM and XRD analysis of the oxidized surface of the samples were carried out. With increasing the MoSi2 content and oxidation temperature, the passive oxidation was found. The trend of weight gain of all samples was followed the parabolic rate law with the formation of a protective layer of cristobalite on the surface.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate behavior of surface oxidation with steel type. The excess entalphy combustion in porous media system was applied to implement the direct radiation heating system. The surface oxidation thickness (SOT) in fuel-lean condition was thicker than the SOT in fuel-rich. Also, the SOT was increased by increasing residence time. Detailed explanations were given by SEM and EDS analysis.
