In　this　paper,　taking　into　account　the　external　loading,　growth　strain,　creep,　and　bending　deformation　during　the　metallic　high-temperature　oxidation,　a　residual　stress　evolution　model　is　developed　according　to　the　force-　and　moment-equilibrium　equations.　In　this　model,　oxidation　kinetic　relationship　(the　stress-dependent　growth　rate)　is　related　to　the　stress　in　the　oxide　scale,　not　classical　parabolic　law.　If　and　only　if　the　stress　in　the　scale　or　the　activation　volume　is　equal　to　zero,　this　relationship　can　reduce　to　the　parabolic　law.　Then　the　stress-dependent　oxidation　kinetics　is　compared　with　the　stress-independent　one　(the　parabolic　law).　Finally,　effects　of　the　external　loading　on　the　stress　distribution　in　the　oxide　scale,　the　curvature　of　the　system　and　the　scale　thickness　are　discussed,　and　numerical　results　show　that　the　tensile　external　loading　decreases　the　oxidation　stress　and　promotes　the　growth　rate　of　the　oxidation　layer.　©　Copyright　Materials　Research　Society　2016.
