The REs can be added as elements (or oxides) to the alloys or applied as an oxide coating to the alloy surface. The sol gel technique is very efficient to apply fine oxide particle coatings. The influence of various RE oxide gels such as La2O3, CeO2, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Gd2O3, Dy2O3, Y2O3, Er2O3 and Yb2O3 on cyclic oxidation behaviour (RT-900°C) of Fe–20Cr alloy has been studied. The morphology and coverage of the RE oxide gels varied with the type of RE. The cyclic oxidation resistance increases with increase in time at temperature required to reach a specific chromium dioxide layer thickness and this is influenced by RE ion radius and characteristics of the RE oxide coating such as morphology, stability, coverage, resistance to thermal stresses and consequently adhesion.248-252closedAccessrare earthsoxidescoatingsiron alloyschromium alloyscorrosion resistanceoxidationchromium oxidesmorphologyadhesionArtigo de periódico22210.1179/174329406X122847https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4822-8840
