“…During service, the aluminum reservoir of the alloy is consumed down to a critical level, when formation of oxides other than alumina occurs, causing failure of the component [2,3]. But the consumption rate is also determined by the minor alloying elements such as additions of reactive elements e.g., yttrium, zirconium, hafnium, titanium, by an improvement of scale adherence, the prevention of the deleterious effects of sulfur, the change of the scale growth mechanism, and/or an improvement of scale plasticity by decreasing oxide grain size [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
