The effects of surface preparations on oxidation kinetics and oxide scale morphology for the commercially available Ni-based superalloy IN 713C have been investigated. The ground and polished samples were exposed in air at 800-1100 °C. The ground specimens were found to demonstrate lower oxidation kinetics compared to those after polishing. The grinding also affected the oxide scale morphology, resulting in a protective alumina scale, while the polished samples developed Ni-/Cr-rich mixed oxides on the surface. Better oxidation resistance of the ground surfaces is related to a higher concentration of defects in the near-surface region introduced by cold working. These defects facilitate the outward transport of the scale-forming element Al and thus are beneficial for protective oxidation. The oxidation mechanism at lower temperatures was introduced. The model based on the generalized Darken method and multiphase approximation was proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
