A temperature correction procedure for temperature inhomogeneity in dilatometer specimens
Dilatometry is a thermo-analytical technique used to measure the expansion or shrinkage of materials during heating or cooling, whether or not in association with a phase transformation. A temperature correction procedure has been developed to correct for the temperature inhomogeneity that exists in an inductively heated specimen during the heating/cooling process and to represent the dilation as a function of a homogeneous temperature. As an example, taking an Fe-5.91 at.% Ni specimen and subjecting it to two different Cooling rates, the temperature correction has been performed for the temperature range where the austenite to ferrite phase transformation takes place as well as for the pure austenite and ferrite phases close to the temperature range of the transformation.
