Abstract
The complete behaviour was accurately represented by the simulation of a square flake with a few randomly positioned pits growing in the flake structure. The simulation illustrates that the initial increase is due to the growth of the pits within the larger flake structure. The pits were found to be caused by catalytic impurities. Thus by demonstrating this is a rate controlling factor the simulation enables the practical insight that the oxidation resistance can be significantly improved if these small impurities are removed.
