Observation on void formed in oxide scale of Fe-Cr-Ni alloy at 1073K in dry and humid environments

Void formation in oxide scale during high temperature oxidation is a common phenomenon. Over a long period of time voids will affect the mechanical property of scales by influencing the cracking and spalling. Voids formed in dry environment are different than that of formed in humid environment....
