This is a serious problem in aircraft,marine,industrial and land-base gas turbines.The formation of porus non-protective oxide scales at the surfaces and sulphides at the substrate will lead to material degradation at high temperature applications.This type of attack is generally referred by ¡®hot corrosion¡¯ which is of two types namely type-I and type-II. This paper attempts exclusively to explain the behavior of oxidation on Inconel 600, a super alloy used for high temperature applications.The kinetics of oxidation are determined and discussed. %K Oxidation %K growth stress %K thermal stress %K kinetics of oxidation %K hot corrosion. %U http://www.ijesrt.com/issues%20pdf%20file/Archives%202013/june-2013/24.pdf
