Abstract

The conditions necessary to determine the oxidation kinetics of metals and alloys are discussed quantitatively, and a new method of calculating the rational rate constants was suggested. It was shown that the size and the shape of a metal sample has an effect on the kinetics of oxidation. Further, it was established that the values of the parabolic rate constants of corrosion, calculated from the empirical Pilling and Bedworth equation, contain a serious systematic error, if changes in the metallic core surface area during the oxidation process are neglected.
