Abstract
A new all-spectroscopic method for depth-resolved thermal diffusivity measurement of metallic specimens has been demonstrated. The method entails measurement of the mass entrained into a laser-produced plasma (LPP) plume in such a manner that the plume is representative of the specimen in elemental composition. Both the abundance of matter and its elemental composition are measured by time-resolved spectroscopy for each LPP plume. In order to delineate the morphology versus composition basis of the depth dependence, a new study on a Nichrome ribbon specimen heated by ohmic heating in a vacuum is presented. A set of depth-resolved thermal diffusivity measurements is carried out, while noting the attendant changes in the spectral emissivity and elemental composition at succeeding ablation layers. Additional measurements are carried out after the specimen has been treated under varying heating conditions. Preferential diffusion of chromium at high temperatures has been found to contribute to the dynamics of surface thermophysical properties at high temperatures. Representative LPP ablation is well suited for removal of surface impurities prior to thermophysical property measurements by the pulse heating technique.
