Abstract The interfacial segregation of sulphur and carbon during the oxidation in 1 torr O2 at 1173 K of Fe-20Cr alloy, which was either free of Ce, alloyed with 0.078 wt.% Ce, or sputter-coated with a 4 nm-thick CeO2 layer, was studied using polyatomic SIMS. Oxidation periods were up to 19 hr. During oxidation, sulphur and carbon accumulated at the alloy-oxide interface region of both uncoated and coated alloys. The amount of segregated sulphur did not vary appreciably with time, whereas carbon increased with time. The total amount of segregants was similar for both uncoated and coated alloys, although the scales formed on the sputter-coated alloy maintained adhesion and were about 10 times thinner than those on the uncoated alloys.
