Abstract

A high-temperature laser-pulse apparatus for the measurement of thermal diffusivity in the temperature range from 1500 to 2500 K has been designed. constructed, and tested at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. A curve-fitting method is introduced by which the entire experimental temperature history curve is fitted with the theoretical curve under the boundary condition of radiative heat losses. The new apparatus and the curve-fitting method permit thermal diffusivity measurements with an uncertainty of not more than 3%.
