Abstract

Abstract It is shown that self-heating of a compacted sample made of nonpassivated iron nanopowder is not uniform, although it begins simultaneously within the entire surface of the sample. It is found that the maximum temperature of self-heating decreases with an increase in relative density of samples, which indicates that the oxidation process is limited by the diffusion supply of oxidant. It is shown that the process of interaction of samples with the air occurs in a superficial mode. A qualitative agreement of the results of the theoretical analysis with experimental data is obtained. The possibility of passivation of compacted samples made of iron nanopowder is experimentally established.
