Title: THERMAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS. Period covered : July 1, 1956 through July 31, 1957

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4323656

Equipment has been designed and built for tbe measurement of the specific heat, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of a series of ten metals and ceramics. These measurements are from about 1000 deg F to the melting point or 3000 deg F, whichever is lower. A vacuum dilatometer using a linear variable differential transformer as the sensing element has been used. A comparative method for measuring thermal conductivity hs been used. The heat capacity was determined with an ice calorimeter and its associated high temperature furnace designed to operate up to 5000 deg F. Data are presented for the expansion of all of the test materials, Enthalpy, specific heat and thermal conductivity data were determined for only part of the materials. All data are presented graphically. (auth)
