Abstract
An analysis has been performed or fire spread along metal cylinders when metal melts before its chemical reaction with oxygen in the gas phase or in the molten metal-oxide mass. To discuss the fundamental characteristics of metal fire spread, upward fire spread, which is more stable than downward one, has been explored.
