Abstract
A method for increasing the oxidation resistance of a Fe-Cr-Al alloy, which comprises placing said Fe-Cr-Al alloy in an atmosphere having an oxygen partial atmosphere of 0.02-2 Pa at a temperature of 950.degree.-1,200.degree. C. to form, on the surface of said alloy, an alumina-based protective film having excellent oxidation resistance. Said method enables the formation of a homogeneous protective film having excellent oxidation resistance, even on alloys having non-homogeneous compositions, such as Fe-Cr-Al alloy and the like, and is very effective for increasing the oxidation resistance of Fe-Cr-Al alloy.
