Abstract
The oxidation of ZrAl3 in dry oxygen in the temperature range 865–1073 K obeys a logarithmic rate law in the first period of reaction. An activation energy of 214 kJ mol−1 has been estimated. Some time after this first period, depending on the temperature, the protective oxide film transforms to a porous one and the reaction rate increases. The oxide layer consists of α-Al2O3, tetragonal ZrO2 and small amounts of monoclinic ZrO2, in contrast to the ZrO2 oxide layer formed during oxidation of other phases in the Zr-Al system, where the selective oxidation of zirconium takes place.
