The oxidation kinetics was determined from the measured mass change as a function of oxidation time. Examination of the microstructure of the oxides and determination of their chemical composition were performed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD). Chemical analyses showed that films formed on the AISI 441 steel surface consisted mostly of chromium oxide but manganese, iron, titanium and silicon oxides were found in the oxidized layer. In synthetic air, the steel oxidation rate increased gradually as the temperature increased, but in the argon atmosphere with 1 ppm of oxygen, the highest oxidation rate was observed at 900 °C and the lowest at 950 °C.215-226openAccessargonferritic steelsfilmskineticsmicrostructureoxidationoxygenpartial pressurescanning electron microscopystainless steelstemperature range 0400-1000 kx-ray diffractionArtigo de periódico10510.1016/j.engfailanal.2019.07.011https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4822-884076.11378.00
