We present some new results in the characterization of the oxidation phenomena, as a continuation of previous works of our associate laboratory of SaoPaulo University (1, 2), but in our experience we study zirconium alloys. We provide valuable information about surface microrelief changes, also useful in numerous engineering issues.
We also provide some results from an experimental model (3) simulating an oxidation process, i.e. a variable roughness surface. After these results we can affirm that our technique is very useful for giving new possibilities to analyze the corrosion process, particularly in real time.
