Investigation of Ignition Temperatures of Solid Metals. W. C. Reynolds. Stanford Univ., Calif. U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Technical Note D-182, October, 1959, 71 pp. Available from Office of Technical Services, Washington, D. C.
The ignition temperature of a solid metal is related through a thermal definition of ignition to the rate of oxidation and to the radiation and convection heat-transfer parameters. The mechanisms of oxidation are reviewed, and the factors which influence ignition temperatures are discussed. Reasonable agreement between theoretical and experimental ignition temperatures is demonstrated. Experimental ignition temperatures for several metals are presented. (auth)—NSA. 19428
