In order that alloys may be oxidation resistant, the following requirements should be satisfied,
(1) formation of uniform and compact oxide scale on the alloys,
(2) less cracking and spallation of this protective scale, and
(3) immediate healing of the scale, if cracking and spallation occurs.
In this paper is given a description on the details of these processes.
