etals, which are especially used in the hot forging applications, are
stable, when exposed to the atmosphere, at high and low temperatures.
Metals such as iron, rusts and get oxidized very rapidly, while the other metals
such as nickel, chromium corrode relatively slowly. Therefore it is important
to study oxidation process along with film thickness of the oxide layer. The
role of various alloying elements and its oxides during oxidation process need
to be understood. Copper strongly influences the microstructure of micro
alloyed steel since segregation of Cu occurs in steel during oxidation. Samples
containing various Ni/Cu ratios are studied in scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Four samples of ratio of 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 and
5.0 with dimension size 25 mm X 25 mm are studied. The sample which has
ratio of 1.8 gives better results since it shows minimal severity in cracking and
optimum thickness is achieved.
