Abstract

A technique is described for the dynamic measurement of selected thermophysical properties of electrically conducting solids in the range 1500 K to the melting temperature of the specimen. The technique is based on rapid resistive selfheating of the specimen from room temperature to any desired high temperature in less than 1 s by the passage of an electrical current pulse through it and on measuring the pertinent quantities, such as current, voltage, and temperature, with millisecond resolution. The technique was applied to the measurement of heat capacity, electrical resistivity, hemispherical total emissivity, normal spectral emissivity, thermal expansion, temperature and energy of solid-solid phase transformations, melting temperature, and heat of fusion. Two possible options for the extension of the technique to measurements above the melting temperature of the specimen are briefly discussed. These options are: (1) submillisecond heating of the specimen and performance of the measurements with microsecond resolution, and (2) performance of the experiments in a near-zero-gravity environment with millisecond resolution.
