Directional spectral emissivity data in different environments are needed in a great number of scientific and technological applications. In this work, the normal spectral emissivity of Armco iron is studied as a function of temperature under a controlled atmosphere. Emissivity values are calculated by the direct radiometric method. The evolution with thermal cycling, the dependence on temperature, and the effect of surface roughness are considered. Additionally, the electrical resistivity is calculated by using the Hagen–Rubens emissivity relation. This work makes progress in the use of Armco iron as an emissivity reference.
