Application of High-Speed Laser Polarimetry to Noncontact Detection of Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys at High Temperatures

A high-speed laser polarimetry technique, developed recently for the measurement of normal spectral emissivity of materials at high temperatures, was used to detect solid–solid and solid–liquid phase transformations in metals and alloys in millisecond-resolution pulse-heating experiments. Experiments were performed where normal spectral emissivity at 633 nm was measured simultaneously with surface radiance temperature, resistance, and/or voltage drop across the specimen. It was observed that a phase transformation, as indicated either by an arrest in the specimen radiance temperature or changes in the resistance and/or voltage drop, generally caused a change in normal spectral emissivity. Experiments were conducted on cobalt, iron, hafnium, titanium, and zirconium to detect solid–solid phase transformations. Similar experiments were also performed on niobium, titanium, and the alloy 85titanium–15molybdenum (mass%) to detect solid–liquid phase transformations (melting).

Highly reflective coatings for interior and exterior steel cladding and the energy efficiency of buildings

The effect of surface heat-radiation properties of coil-coated steel cladding material on the energy efficiency of buildings in Nordic climate is addressed by parallel temperature and energy usage measurements in a series of test cabins with different exterior solar reflectivity and interior thermal reflectivity. During one year, a number of one- or two-week experiments with air conditioner cooling and electrical floor heating were made while logging air-, radiation- and surface temperatures, energy consumption and weather conditions. Measurements show significant energy savings in the test cabins by the use of high thermal reflectivity interior surfaces both during heating and cooling and a strongly reduced cooling demand by the use of high solar reflectivity exterior surfaces. Results are interpreted within the context of a steady-state energy flux model, to illuminate the importance of surface resistance properties (radiation and convective heat dissipation).     

Motivation, affect, and hemispheric asymmetry: Power versus affiliation.

In 4 experiments, the authors examined to what extent information related to different social needs (i.e., power vs. affiliation) is associated with hemispheric laterality. Response latencies to a lateralized dot-probe task following lateralized pictures or verbal labels that were associated with positive or negative episodes related to power, affiliation, or achievement revealed clear-cut laterality effects. These effects were a function of need content rather than of valence: Power-related stimuli were associated with right visual field (left hemisphere) superiority, whereas affiliation-related stimuli were associated with left visual field (right hemisphere) superiority. Additional results demonstrated that in contrast to power, affiliation primes were associated with better discrimination between coherent word triads (e.g., goat, pass, and green, all related to mountain) and noncoherent triads, a remote associate task known to activate areas of the right hemisphere.

Infrared Emissivity Study on Semiconductor Pigment of Cd-Zn-S

Semiconductor pigment of Cd-Zn-S is synthesized through the solid state reaction method and its structure and surface morphology is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). It is demonstrated that the crystal lattice of the product is hexagonal. When the heat treatment temperature increases, the distortion of crystal lattice reduces. The samples annealed at different temperatures agglomerate to different degrees while the one annealed at higher temperature agglomerates clearly. The infrared emissivity of Cd-Zn-S at two window-bands of 3-5μm and 8-14μm is researched. The researched result shows that the infrared emissivity of Cd-Zn-S in 8-14μm wave bands is much higher than that in 3-5μm wave bands. The infrared emissivity decreases with the increasing of heat treatment temperature, which reason is that with the increasing of temperature, the infrared absorption decreases and the scatter by the particles rises.     

A Simple High-Sensitivity Radiometer in the Infrared for Measurements of the Directional Total Emissivity of Opaque Materials at Near-Ambient Temperatures

A novel device for direct determination of the total directional emissivity of solid surfaces at near-ambient temperatures is described. The method of operation is based on comparing the radiation emitted by the surface with that emitted by a reference. The primary sensor is a solid-state, thermopile detector, and the signal recovery is achieved by phase-sensitive detection techniques, using a mechanical chopper. The device is simple and does not use any cooling. Experimental results are presented using a test sample of clear float glass, kept at 323 K (50°C), with black paint on a float glass substrate as the reference. These results, likely the first for the directional total emissivity of float glass at such low temperatures obtained without cooling, compare well with values in the literature.     

A combined transient and brief steady-state technique for measuring hemispherical total emissivity of electrical conductors at high temperatures: Application to tantalum

A new method for measuring hemispherical total emissivity of electrically conducting materials at high temperatures (above 1500 K) using a feedback-controlled pulse-heating technique has been developed. The technique is based on rapid resistive self-heating of a solid cylindrical specimen in vacuum up to a preset high temperature in a short time (about 200 ms) and then keeping the specimen at that temperature under steady-state conditions for a brief period (about 500 ms) before switching off the current through the specimen. The specimen is maintained at constant temperature with a feedback control system which controls the current through the specimen. The computer-controlled feedback system operates a solid-state switch (composed of field-effect transistors). The sensing signal for the feedback is provided by a high-speed optical pyrometer. Hemispherical total emissivity is determined at the temperature plateau from the data on current through the specimen, the voltage drop across the middle portion of the specimen, and the specimen temperature using the steady-state heat balance equation based on the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The true temperature of the specimen is determined from the measured radiance temperature and the normal spectral emissivity: the latter is obtained from laser polarimetric measurements. The experimental quantities are measured and recorded every 0.2 ms with a 12-bit digital oscilloscope. To demonstrate the feasibility of the technique, experiments were conducted on a tantalum specimen in the temperature range 2000 to 2800 K. The results on hemispherical total emissivity are presented and are compared with the data given in the literature.     

Infra-red temperature measurement of bright metal strip using multiple reflection in a roll-strip wedge to enhance emissivity

In a continuous annealing furnace, strip temperature was measured using radiation thermometers aimed, at a shallow angle to the strip, into the wedge-shaped cavity formed between the strip and a roll. The dependence of the observed temperature on thermometer operating wavelength, field-of-view, aiming and polarisation was investigated. Comparison was made against reference temperatures taken with a surface pyrometer and also derived from strip metallurgy. Control of the furnace, using a wedge thermometer, was demonstrated. The technique is potentially applicable in a wide variety of bright metal processing furnaces.     

Are hemispheric strategy differences independent of the level of performance?

Studies requiring identification of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) nonwords have suggested that attention is distributed more slowly or sequentially across the letters when they are presented to the right hemisphere than to the left hemisphere. Two experiments investigated whether hemispheric differences in processing strategy would be reduced with reductions of hemispheric differences in accuracy. The magnitude of visual field differences in accuracy was controlled by manipulating exposure duration, and the effect was observed on visual field differences in processing strategy. For both CVC identification (Experiment 1) and identification of nonletter symbols (Experiment 2), hemispheric strategy differences were independent of differences in accuracy. Both quantitative and qualitative hemispheric strategy differences in processing visual displays appear to depend on the nature of the stimuli and the nature of the processes they invoke.
