| Abstract Scope |
Despite heavy use of the high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope, little work has been done to understand the temperature conditions within the sample. Obtaining a precise measurement of liquid metal is difficult because, unlike larger melts, a thermocouple cannot be immersed. The normal method of predicting the molten metal temperature, creating a linear regression from the observed temperature offsets when melting pure Fe and pure Cu, has not been tested to see that the relation holds independent of the metal observed. Furthermore, previous studies have asserted that between the top and bottom a molten droplet there exists a 20 K temperature difference. These studies have only modelled portions of the system, rather than including the entire mirror furnace chamber. This study seeks to test the material independence of the temperature compensation and to expand modelling efforts to include radiative heating of metals by the mirror furnace. |
