The generation mechanism of oxidation-induced stacking faults was studied with particular regard to the morphology and size of the oxide precipitates which became the nuclei of such stacking faults. It was found that platelet precipitates with diagonal lengths which were greater than 70nm could become the nuclei of oxidation-induced stacking faults, whereas polyhedral precipitates could not generate oxidation-induced stacking faults.
