I am working with 316L. first I polished the surface and then I heated it at 550C for 8 hours in air. I am wondering what kind of oxide formed on the surface. If I want to get Cr oxide, what kind of process I can follow?

Sir: Type 316L stainless steel readily forms a chromium oxide (Cr2O3) surface layer in the atmosphere in the absence of any external assistance. David Hendrix The Hendrix Group Inc.
