Abstract

The oxidation of tungsten boride in oxygen at pressures from 1 to 740 Torr over the temperature range of 500 to 1200°C was studied by means of thermogravimetric, petrographic, and x-ray analyses. Kinetic parameters of the oxidation were interpreted on the basis of the Frantzevitch oxidation equation, characterizing the volatility of the phases formed, the emf of a high-temperature galvanic cell, having a gas cathode and a metal anode, and the values of the electrical resistance of the film.
