Oxidation of Metals Subjected to a Linear Temperature Increase: Cubic and Logarithmic Laws

The total amount of oxidation which occurs up to a given time when a metal is subjected to a continuously increasing temperature has been studied by Fasseli and coworkers. A constant rate of increase as well as the linear and parabolic oxidation laws were assumed. The present report extends the analysis to include to the cubic and logarithmic growth laws. The notation for the nth order exponential integral functions which is used here simplifies the equations and the calculations.
