The Effect of the Additive Calcium on the Rate of Internal Oxidation of Silver-Cadmium Alloys YUAN SHOUSHEN AND RICHARD H. KROCK The t h e o r y of oxidation as o r i g i n a l l y p r o p o s e d by C. Wagner 1 is d e s c r i b e d by the p a r a b o l i c r e l a t i o n s h i p : X = 27(Dot) ~/~

Notes." ( 1 ) X = O x i d i z e d case t h i c k n e s s . (2) >1.2 = The specimen was completely oxidized with only small depleted zone.

Thie equation leads one to conclude that when the factor t i m e r e m a i n s constant, the t h i c k n e s s of the oxidized c a s e depends p r i n c i p a l l y on the c o n c e n t r a t i o n s of the d i s s o l v e d oxygen and c a d m i u m as well as on t h e i r diffusion c o n s t a n t s . During a study of the i n t e r n a l oxidation of s i l v e r - c a d m i u m a l l o y s , it has b e e n found that in addition to the above f a c t o r s , the oxidation r a t
