The thermal decomposition of ferric nitrate nonahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate, aluminum nitrate nonahydrate, and nickel nitrate hexahydrate as well as the mw- tures of these compounds in the proportions produced in the dissolution of Nichrome and stainless steel alloys was investigated. The experiments were conducted in air at two heating rates, approximately 1.1 deg C and 2.6 deg C per minute. The intermediate producte and final products were analyzed by x-ray diffraction and chemically where it was appropriate. (auth)
