E. Kaschnitz et al., MEASUREMENTS OF THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF NICKEL NEAR ITS MELTING TEMPERATURE BY A MICROSECOND-RESOLUTION TRANSIENT TECHNIQUE, International journal of thermophysics, 15(4), 1994, pp. 757-766
A microsecond-resolution capacitor discharge system was used to heat n
ickel specimens rapidly to temperatures several hundred degrees above
the melting point. From time-resolved measurements of current, voltage
, and radiance temperature, selected thermophysical properties of nick
el at its melting temperature and in the liquid state were determined.
The properties measured include enthalpy and electrical resistivity a
t the beginning and end of melting, heat of fusion, and enthalpy, spec
ific heat capacity, and electrical resistivity in the liquid phase up
to 2000 K.
