Oxides formed on four Ni-Cr dental casting alloys in three temperature domains and in two different atmospheres were chemically analyzed using the Scanning Auger Microprobe. Distributions of Ni and Cr in the oxide layers varied with the alloy; oxidation in air resulted in apparently thicker oxide layers than did oxidation in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.
