In this study, oxidation of SiC under different flow rates of steam was investigated at 1400^oC using laser heating. Results of the investigation indicated that the mass evolution of SiC underwent a mass gain with 0.1 g/min of steam flow rate. Whereas, the mass evolution experienced a mass loss with 3 g/min of steam. Based on the data of mass change under the investigated conditions, the parabolic and linear rate constants were calculated and reported.
