This work evaluates the performance of a novel, electrodeposited composite Co/LaCrO.sub.3 coating for AISI 430 stainless steel. The oxidation behaviour of the Co/LaCrO.sub.3-coated AISI 430 substrates is studied in terms of scale microstructure and growth kinetics. Area-specific resistance (ASR) of the coated substrates has also been tested. The results showed that the Co/LaCrO.sub.3 coating forms a triple-layer scale consisting of a chromia-rich subscale, a Co-Fe spinel mid-layer and a Co.sub.3O.sub.4 spinel top layer at 800[degrees]C in air. This scale is protective, acts as an effective barrier against chromium migration into the outer oxide layer and exhibits a low, stable ASR of [approximately equal to]0.02I[c]cm.sup.2 after 900h at 800[degrees]C in air.
