Abstract
THE superficial film formed on heating an alloy in air consists usually of a mixture of oxides of the alloying metals. In some circumstances, however, the oxide of only one of the elements—often of a minor constituent—appears on the surface. This has been known for some time to be the case with oxidized surfaces of brass and stainless steels. Electron-diffraction investigations have lately furnished a considerable number of similar examples1–5.
