Tests showed that the rate of internal carburization and oxidation of nickel-chromium alloys attains a maximum at 1500 F-1750 F. Attack was slight at 1330 F and 1830 F. The presence of carbon dioxide, water vapor and hydrogen in the carbon monoxide did not significantly affect the rate of penetration. Modified Inconel type alloys resisted carburization and oxidation in all the atmospheres tested. The mechanisms involved are discussed. 3.8.4
