Different modes of introduction of yttrium have been tested with regard to the influence on the high temperature oxidation behavior of a FeCral alloy. Y 2 O 3 sol‐gel coatings, Y 2 O 3 metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) coatings, implanted yttrium ions and yttrium as alloying element (0.1 wt.%) in the same Fe‐20Cr‐5Al alloy were oxidized at 1100°C in air under atmospheric pressure. Whatever the mode of introduction of the reactive element, the oxidation rates were not decreased compared to the oxidation rate of the blank specimen. The observation of the oxidized surface indicated that the alumina scale largely spalled from the blank alloy. Spallation was reduced for the Y 2 O 3 sol‐gel coated, the Y 2 O 3 MOCVD coated alloys and the yttrium ion implanted steels. The Y‐containing alloy did not exhibit any detachment of the oxide scale, indicating the best high temperature oxidation behavior, at least from the viewpoint of scale adherence.
