Title
TOM - a versatile thermooptical measuring system for the optimization of heat treatments
Abstract
Thermooptical measurements provide an insight into material changes during the heat treatment. Dimensional and mass changes as well as creep and wetting properties are monitored up to very high temperatures in various atmospheres. By that, process parameters and setup for binder removal, sintering and infiltration processes have been optimized using conditions which are close to the heat treatment of components in production furnaces.
