... of the process. The spalling of oxide results in the linear kinetics characteristic of the steady-state oxidation of uranium. In fact, the linear kinetics are really a series of short parabolic steps approximated by a straight line. For temperatures between 38 and 300 °C (100 and 570 °F), the rate of uranium...
