Information on the nature of the scales on oxidized Cr and Fe‐25 Cr alloy can be obtained by means of the cathodic reduction technique. At low and intermediate temperatures the oxide films formed on the alloy are two phase, consisting of a high‐Fe, reducible oxide and a high‐Cr, less readily reducible phase. At the higher temperature of 980° the oxide on the alloy is single phase, at least its outer portion. At 320° the cathodic reduction curve is complex, but can be interpreted with the aid of electron diffraction and microscopy.
