Auger chemical analysis of oxides on Ni-Cr alloys
G. Baran
Oxides formed on four Ni-Cr dental casting alloys in three temperature
domains and in two different atmospheres were chemically analyzed using the
Scanning Auger Microprobe. Distributions of Ni and Cr in the oxide layers
varied with the alloy; oxidation in air resulted in apparently thicker
oxide layers than did oxidation in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.
