Abstract Residual stress near edges and corners of thermally grown alumina scaleswere investigated. In this study, an edge is the intersection of twoorthogonal flat surfaces and a corner is the intersection of three suchsurfaces. Microfluorescence measurements, performed on alloys withcomposition Fe–28Al–5Cr (at.%, bal. Fe) oxidized at 900°C,showed a large (〉50%) reduction in hydrostatic stress in the vicinity ofedges and corners. Surprisingly, significant stress reduction persists outto distances twenty to fifty times the scale thickness from theedge. Finite-element analysis calculations confirm the experimental resultsand provide a considerably more detailed picture of the stress distributionand its components and show that much of the observed stress reduction nearan edge, is due to plastic deformation of the underlying metal.
