“…3 , and Ni(OH) 2 , the oxygen concentration was calculated as 43.7, 42.7, 45.3, and 45.6 mol% in Co20Cr-15W-10Ni, Co-30Cr-6Mo_1, Co-33Cr-5Mo-0.3N, and Co-33Cr-9W-0.3N, respectively, which is smaller than the oxygen concentration (67.9, 69.0, 66.7, and 67.3 mol%, respectively). The extra oxygen originated from OH − and H 2 O. Co(OH) 2 and Cr(OH) 3 possibly exist in the oxide lm, but molybdenum hydroxide is hardly formed because more Mo exists in the oxide. 5) Regardless of the composition, the oxide lm is not simply an anhydrous oxidic substance: it is an oxyhydroxide.…”
