  • Method for contactless continuous temperature measurement of the solidification of metal alloys
    Patent number: 5951164
    Abstract: A method for contactless continuous temperature measurement of the solidification of metal alloys is described, according to which the melt to be analysed is rotated about a vertical axis in a cylindrical and concentrically positioned test piece (2), and the temperature measurement is effected with the aid of an optical temperature meter (6). Upon rotation, a parabola-shaped inner surface forms, and the temperature measurement is performed on a part of the upper interface of the parabola.
