Effect of pressure on the ignition temperature of compact samples of nickel alloys in oxygen

Abstract: It is found that compact samples of nickel and its alloys heated in “cold” (323 K) and “hot” ($\le$1573 K) oxygen ignite at temperatures exceeding the melting point of the materials. The ignition temperature is independent of the oxygen pressure up to 70 MPa. It is suggested that the drop in the ignition temperature of alloys with rising oxygen pressure reported in several papers is related to systematic errors in measuring the surface temperature of the samples.
