Abstract

Physical processes during a rapid (microsecond) heating of metals, carbon, and their compounds by a single pulse of electric current are discussed. Effects arising in such short-term heating near the melting point are noted: the electron emission and heat capacity anomalies and the possible occurrence of Frenkel pair (interstitial atom and vacancy). The problem of measuring the temperature using optical methods under pulse heating is considered, including the use of a specimen in the form of a blackbody model. The melting temperature of carbon (4800–4900 K) is measured at increased pulse pressure. The results of studying the properties of metals (by example of zirconium and hafnium) and of zirconium carbide at high temperatures are discussed. The schematics of the pulse setups and the instrumentation, as well as specimens for a pulse experiment, are presented.
