If you heat copper metal strongly in open air (in the presence of oxygen) it will cause it to oxidize to Copper (II) Oxide if i am not mistaken. If i am not mistaken an oxidizing agent like Potassium Manganate (VII) will be able to oxidize as well.

Moisture. A lot of the time, you will see it at joints. The tinniest bit of moisture is seeping out of the joint and causing the oxidation. Nothing to worry about.
