ORG: Transportation Machinery Plant, Eharlkov (zavod transportnogo mashino- stroyeniya) TITLE: Method of determining temperature fields of machinery-part surfaces inaccessible during operation SOURCE: Inzhenerno-fizicheskiy zhurnal, v. 11, no. 4, 1966, 516-520 TOPIC TAGS: temperature, temperature dependence, temperature measurement, diffusion method, diffusion parameter, temperature field ABSTRACT: A method is proposed for determining the temperatures and Lopologies of the temperature fields of objects which are inaccessible during operation. It is based on the use of the critical dependence of the diffusion parameters of materials on temperature. The method was tested on simple and complex multicomponent heterophase alloys over a wide temperature range (the lowest temperature was 200C). The alloys tested were 65G, Hhl2M, Ehl8N9T, E1283, and AK-4 grades, with partial reference made to parts of internal r-.A 1 / 2 UDC: 536.5 I . . . . - . . i,_" ~ - . . . - ; ~ , * - . - ~, ; r .
