Evaluating Material Performance under Extreme Temperature Conditions

A material's ability to both store and transfer heat is characterized by the thermophysical properties of thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity. The determination of these properties is extremely important, particularly as it pertains to extreme-temperature applications. These applications necessitate knowing how a material reacts to dynamic temperature changes and how it withstands those changes. The measurement of heat transfer properties will provide critical information regarding material composition and stability. This presentation will examine direct and indirect thermal conductivity measurement methods for a wide range of materials, including polymers, ceramics, carbons, and metals ranging in temperature from -175 to 2800°C.

Join this webinar to learn:
  • What is thermal diffusivity and conductivity?
  • How does temperature affect measurement technique(s)?
  • How can we unify thermal properties for extreme temperature measurements?
