The results reveal the inhomogene- ity in the oxide films on the micron-sized Cr<sub>2</sub> N- and VN-type particles, while the inhomogeneity on the martensite matrix phase exists due to localised formation of nano-sized tempering nitride particles at 600 °C. The oxide film formed on Cr<sub>2</sub> N-type particles is rich in Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> compared with that on the martensite matrix and VN-type particles. With the increase of tempering temperature, Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> formation is faster for the oxidation of Cr in the martensite matrix than the oxidation of Cr nitride-rich particles. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:001362099400001 %R 10.1016/j.jmst.2024.04.006 %U https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/607697
