AbstractThe French National Metrology Institute LNE has improved its homemade laser flash apparatus in order to perform accurate and reliable measurements of thermal diffusivity of homogeneous solid materials at very high temperature. The inductive furnace and the associated infrared (IR) detection systems have been modified and a specific procedure for the in situ calibration of the used radiation thermometers has been developed. This new configuration of the LNE’s diffusivimeter has been then applied for measuring the thermal diffusivity of molybdenum up to 2200 °C, tungsten up to 2400 °C and isotropic graphite up to 3000 °C. Uncertainties associated with these high temperature thermal diffusivity measurements have been assessed for the first time according to the principles of the “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement” (GUM). Detailed uncertainty budgets are here presented in the case of the isotropic graphite for measurements performed at 1000 °C, 2000 °C and 3000 °C. The relative expanded uncertainty (coverage factor k = 2) of the thermal diffusivity measurement is estimated to be between 3 % and 5 % in the whole temperature range for the three investigated refractory materials.

AbstractThe laser flash technique is a standard method to measure the thermal diffusivity of solid samples especially at high temperatures. To understand the reliability of thermal diffusivity evaluation at high temperature for solid samples with low-thermal-diffusivity values, we analyzed the effect of radiative heat loss using the logarithmic method. The results revealed that when the Biot number was 0.1, the deviation from the input thermal diffusivity value was approximately −1.6%. In addition, when an aluminum silicate (AS) sample was heated to 1,273 K, the maximum deviation was approximately −0.35%. In contrast, the difference between the input value and the thermal diffusivity evaluated by the halftime method when AS was heated to 1,273 K was approximately 2.38%. Thus, since the effect of radiative heat loss was found to be negligible, it is concluded that the normalized logarithmic method should be very useful for the thermal diffusivity analysis of low-thermal-diffusivity solid samples at high temperature.

In the present work, the thermal diffusivity measurements of uniaxially cold pressed NiWO4 has been carried out. The measurements were performed isothermally at temperatures between 973 and 1273 K under H2 gas using the laser flash technique. The experimental thermal diffusivity values were found to increase with the reduction progress as well as with increasing temperature. The calculated activation energy was found to be higher than that for chemically controlled reaction. The difference has been attributed to factors like agglomeration of the product as well as sintering of the precursor along with the chemical reaction. In order to sort out the sintering effect on the thermal diffusivity values, complementary experiments have been done on pressed NiWO4 and Ni-W, produced by the reduction of NiWO4 at 1123K, under Argon gas. The porosity change and its effect on thermal diffusivity values have been studied.
