Abstract:
A subsecond duration pulse heating method was used to measure the melting point, the normal spectral emittance (at the melting point), and the electrical resistivity (above 1900 K) of 99.9 + percent pure titanium. The results, based on the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968, yield a value of 1945 K for the melting point. The normal spectral emittance (at 653 nm) at the melting point is 0.40. Estimated inaccuracies are: 5 K in the melting point, 5 percent in the normal spectral emittance, and 3 percent in the electrical resistivity.
