Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of linearthermal expansion of rigid solids using either a Michelson
3、 orFizeau interferometer.1.2 For this purpose, a rigid solid is defined as a materialwhich, at test temperature and under the stresses imposed byinstrumentation, has a negligible creep, insofar as significantlyaffecting the precision of thermal length change measurements.1.3 It is recognized that ma
4、ny rigid solids require detailedpreconditioning and specific thermal test schedules for correctevaluation of linear thermal expansion behavior for certainmaterial applications. Since a general method of test cannotcover all specific requirements, details of this nature should bediscussed in the part
5、icular material specifications.1.4 This test method is applicable to the approximatetemperature range 150 to 700C. The temperature range maybe extended depending on the instrumentation and calibrationmaterials used.1.5 The precision of measurement of this absolute method(better than 640 nm/(mK) is s

It isapplicable to materials having low and either positive ornegative coefficients of expansion (below
7、 5 m/(mK) andwhere only very limited lengths or thickness of other higherexpansion coefficient materials are available.1.6 Computer or electronic based instrumentation, tech-niques and data analysis systems equivalent to this test methodcan be used. Users of the test method are expressly advised tha

Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of kn
21、own geometry can be given polishedreflective ends or placed between two flat reflecting surfaces(mirrors). Typical configurations, as shown in Fig. 1, are acylindrical tube or a rod with hemispherical or flat parallel endsor machined to provide a 3-point support. The mirrors consistof flat-uniform t
22、hickness pieces of silica or sapphire with thesurfaces partially coated with gold or other high reflectancemetal. Light, either parallel laser beam (Michelson, see Fig. 2and Fig. 3) or from a point monochromatic source (Fizeau, seeFig. 4) illuminates each surface simultaneously to produce afringe pa
23、ttern. As the specimen is heated or cooled, expansionor contraction of the specimen causes a change in the fringepattern due to the optical pathlength difference between thereflecting surfaces. This change is detected and converted intolength change from which the expansion and expansion coef-ficien

Significance and Use5.1 Coefficients of linear expansion are required for designpurposes and are used particularly to determine thermalstresses that can occur when a solid artifact composed ofdifferent materials may fail when it is subjected to a tempera-ture excursion(
25、s).5.2 Many new composites are being produced that havevery low thermal expansion coefficients for use in applicationswhere very precise and critical alignment of components isnecessary. Push rod dilatometry such as Test Methods D696,E228, and TMA methods such as Test Methods E831 are notsufficientl

27、forcalibration of other less precise techniques;5.3.3 Measure and compare precisely the differences incoefficient of “matched” materials.5.4 The precise measurement of thermal expansion involvestwo parameters; change of length and change of temperature.Since precise measurements of the first paramet
28、er can be madeby this test method, it is essential that great attention is alsopaid to the second, in order to ensure that calculated expansioncoefficients are based on the required temperature difference.Thus in order to ensure the necessary uniformity in temperatureof the specimen, it is essential
29、 that the uniform temperaturezone of the surrounding furnace or environmental chambershall be made significantly longer than the combined length ofspecimen and mirrors.5.5 This test method contains essential details of the designprinciples, specimen configurations, and procedures to provideprecise v

It is not practical in amethod of this type to try to establish specific details of design,construction, and procedures to cover all contingencies thatmight present difficulties to a person not having the technical3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of re

Additional care and longer equ

Apparatus7.1 Interferometer, Michelson Type:7.1.1 The prin

A parallel light beam usually generated froma laser through a beam expander is split by a beam splitter B.The resulting beams are reflected by mirrors M1and M2andrecombined on B.

The lens, L, projects the image of the fringes onto aplane where two detectors are placed one on the specimen andthe other on the baseplate fields. As the specimen is heated orFIG. 2 (a) Pri

Thespecimen can be a relatively simple cylinder with hemispheri-cal or fl
40、at ends and requiring less precise machining, theinterfering beams are reflected twice from each face to thespecimen thus giving twice the sensitivity of the single pass,and no reference arm is required. One example of the doublepass form is shown in Fig. 3.7.1.4 It is common practice to use polariz
41、ed laser light andquarter wave plates to generate circularly polarized light. Inthis way detectors combined with appropriate analyzers gen-erate signals either with information on fringe number, fractionand motion sense for each beam or linear array data of lightintensity, which indicate the profile
42、 of the instantaneous wholefringe pattern. The array data provides complete information(position of fringe and distance between fringes) to determinethe absolute length change of the specimen depending upon thesystem. These signals are normally processed electronically.7.2 Fizeau Type:7.2.1 This typ
43、e is available in both absolute and compara-tive versions.7.2.2 The principle of the absolute method is illustrated inFig. 4. The specimen is retained between two parallel platesand illuminated by the point source. Expansion or contractionof the specimen causes spatial variation between the plates a
44、ndradial motion of the circular fringe pattern.7.2.3 The difference in the fringe counts yields the netabsolute expansion of the specimen.7.2.4 In practice, P1is wedge shaped (less than 30 min ofarc) such that light reflected by the upper face is diverted fromthe viewing field, while the lower face
45、of P2is made to absorbthe incident light, depending upon the total separation of theflats.7.2.5 For use in the comparative mode, two forms areavailable. These are described in detailed in Annex A1.7.3 Furnace/Cryostat:7.3.1 Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 illustrate the construction of a typicalvertical type of f

For the double pass Michel-son system, horizontal forms of furnace and cryostat can beused.7.4 Temperature Measurement System:7.4.1 The temperature measurement system shall consist ofa calibrated sensor or sensors togeth
47、er with manual, electronicor equivalent read-out such that the indicated temperature canbe determined better than 6 0.5C.7.4.1.1 Since this method is used over a broad temperaturerange, different types of sensors may have to be used to coverthe complete range. The common sensor(s) is a fine gage (32
48、AWG or smaller wire) or thin foil thermocouples calibrated inaccordance with Test Method E220.7.4.1.2 Types E and T are recommended for the temperaturerange 190 to 350C and Types K and S and Nicrosil for thetemperature range from 0 to 800C. If Type K is usedcontinuously, regular checking of the cali
