Abstract

The oxidation rate of pure copper was measured for 48 hours over the temperature range of 500°C to 700°C using thermogravimetric apparatus by means of continuous and discontinuous oxidation methods. It was found that weigh-gained of both samples was found to be increased with increasing temperature and rate laws were determined to be parabolic and linear rate law each other. The comparison of oxidation rate of copper was shown to be higher in discontinuous that in continuous process due to direct oxidation through the oxide scale and copper substrate.
