The effect of time, temperature, and surface pretreatment on rate of oxidation of high purity nickel is studied for the temperature range of 400°–750°C using a vacuum microbalance technique. The data are compared to previous studies in the literature and with other metals. Oxidation data are interpreted in terms of the parabolic rate law and classical theory of diffusion.
