Abstract

An alternative method to describe the temperature profiles of bimaterial systems for resistive heating is proposed. The thermal model based on the solution of a second order harmonic oscillator equation, is interpreted as a function of the oscillating parameters. We highlighted the importance to select adequately the initial conditions to reproduce the experimental results more realistic, as well as the inclusion of the diffusion time constant as a key parameter for interpretation. We discussed the theoretical temperature profiles obtained and the experimental results obtained on film and substrate by means of K-type micro thermocouples for different bimaterial systems such as Au/glass, Au/Si, Al/glass and Al/Si. A better agreement was found with the bimaterial model proposed as compared with the reported before. We found that physical properties and geometrical data play an important role on the temperature profiles obtained. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
