Abstract

In this paper, the mechanism of growth strain is discussed based on the irreversible evolving equations by considering the coupling effects of stress and chemical reaction during isothermal oxidation, and a simple model relating the growth strain and the oxide thickness is developed. If the effect of the stress on the chemical reaction is not taken into account, the model reduces to the Clarke assumption. The expression of Dox is exhibited, and its value can be determined by experiments. The stress evolving equations are derived, where the viscoplastic strain of the oxide and metal and the growth strain of the oxide are considered. Numerical results are given and compared with results from experiments and the existing model. There is good agreement between the proposed model and the experimental data.
