The oxidation kinetics and creep behavior of Incoloy 800 were studied in air and in water vapor charged with oxygen. Oxidation kinetics were determined by thermogravimetry. The creep behavior of samples tested in air and in H{sub 2}O: O{sub 2} = 1:1 atmospheres was investigated by electron microscopic techniques. The oxidation rate of samples tested in air was governed by a p-conducting chromia interlayer. Depending upon water vapor pressure, chromia became n-conductive.
