When these alloys are exposed to a source of oxygen (O) such as air or water, the O may react with the iron (Fe) in the ferrous alloy to form iron oxide (FeO), also called wustite.
This reacts with the iron to form wustite (FeO ), which in turn reacts with the silica fibers to form a layer of fayalite (2FeO-SiO).
