Abstract
Simultaneous measurements of heat capacity, electrical resistivity and hemispherical total emittance of iron (99.9% pure) in the temperature range 1500 to 1800 K, and the melting point of iron by a subsecond duration, transient technique are described. The measurements indicate increases in heat capacity and electrical resistivity as the result of the solid-solid phase transformation (γ → δ) in iron. The measured value of the hemispherical total emittance at 1720 K is 0.33. The average of the results of two experiments yield a value of 1808 K for the melting point of iron. Estimated inaccuracies of measured properties are: 3 percent for heat capacity and emittance, 1 percent for electrical resistivity, and 5 K for the melting point.
