What can oxidation of non-combustible materials produce?

The oxidation of non-combustible materials primarily leads to changes in color and texture. This occurs due to chemical interactions that alter the physical properties of the material without igniting flames or producing significant heat, smoke, or combustion byproducts typically associated with combustible substances.

For example, when metals undergo oxidation, they might develop a layer of oxide that can change color or texture. This process is different from combustion, which releases energy and produces flames, smoke, and potentially harmful gases. The presence of non-combustible materials means that while some reactions may occur, they don't result in the generation of heat and gas typical of combustible materials. Thus, color and texture changes specifically highlight the physical transformation due to oxidation without the accompanying reactions seen in typical burning processes.
