The corrosion behavior of three stainless steels (316L, Alkrothal 720 and Kanthal-APM) in static LBE with oxygen concentration of 10–5 wt% at temperatures of 700 °C for 230 h and 800 °C for 360 h was studied. The steel surface morphology of the oxide scales formed was investigated by SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy and the cross-section by SEM and EDX. Here, a transitional inner-layer of Fe–Cr–Al oxides was found at the substrate interface and an Al-oxide outer layer on the Fe–Cr–Al alloys. Fast growing nonprotective oxide scale with underlying dissolution was observed on the 316L alloy
