Abstract The oxidation behaviour of a commercial low carbon, low silicon steel in flowing air at 600-920°C was investigated. Parabolic oxidation kinetics was observed at all temperatures. Three oxidation kinetics zones with different oxidation activation energies were identified. The mechanisms responsible for the different oxidation kinetics are discussed.
