Fe-Cr-Al and Fe-Cr-Al-Hf alloys prepared either by arc melting or by single roll casting(melt spinning) were exposed to air isothermally at 900~$1100^{circ}C$. Whisker-like alumina was observed on the surface of the specimens when oxidized at $900^{circ}C$, but convoluted alumina above $1000^{circ}C$. All the Hf-free specimens and Hf-added specimens produced by single roll casting formed only external scale mainly composed of $Al_2O_3$ after oxidation at 900~$1100^{circ}C$ for 100 hours, but Hf-added specimen produced by arc melting formed Hf-rich internal oxides below the thin external $Al_2O_3$ scale except at $900^{circ}C$. Most of the rapidly solidified Fe-Cr-Al alloys showed smaller weight gains than conventionally casted ones besides Hf-added one oxidized at $1100^{circ}C$.
