Many studies have been devoted to the oxidation of FeCrAl alloys in the intermediate temperature range 850–950 C, where ‘‘abnormal’’oxide growth is observed [1–3]. This phenomenon has been described as a transition period in which the outward growth of metastable cubic aluminas is more rapid than the inward growth of the stable rhombohedral a-alumina, which effectively protects this type of alloy up to 1200 C. The consequently more rapid consumption of aluminum from the alloy due to metastable Al2O3 growth is particularly detrimental in situations where thin metallic foils have to be used, as in the case of catalyst supports in exhaust systems of combustion engines [4–6], and has to be understood and suppressed or reduced.Previous studies have generally concluded that the transient metastable aluminas, characterized to be c, d and/or h modifications depending on alloy, temperature and characterization technique used [7], quickly form in the first minutes of oxidation and grow showing typical needle or platelet shapes. Kinetics follow near parabolic behavior, with high rate constants (kps), extensively reported in the literature; see for example [8]. These alumina modifications are all stable regarding their formation
