Abstract

Data on the behaviour of materials at high temperatures are needed to improve current designs for missile skins, rocket motors, gas turbines and nuclear applications, but it is only within the last few years that new research tools have been developed to enable materials to bs studied under such conditions in the laboratory. This paper reviews the available techniques, with emphasis placed on the range 2,000–5,000 deg. K.: furnaces (electric resistance, induction, arc, solar), high‐intensity electric arcs, flames, combustion of molten metals, shock tubes, ultra‐high‐frequency are discharges, plasma jets, thermonuclear reactions.
