Austenitic Mn-Al alloys (20-32 W/O Mn, 7-10 Al, 2-3 Si, 1C) were found to have satisfactory oxidation resistance up to 950{degree}C under isothermal conditions in air. Surface enrichment of aluminum is a necessary condition for obtaining an almost pure alumina scale for uses at higher temperatures. Four different Mn-steels were Al-coated by the Capuano electroplating process. In all the steels there was an increase in the hot-oxidation resistance. The best results were obtained with steels containing both Al and Si, and this for temperatures up to 1,100{degree}C.
