The spectral emissivity of iron-nickel alloys

H. B. Wahlin, Robert Zentner, James Martin


The spectral emissivity for λ=6700Å has been determined for Fe‐Ni alloys and shows changes with temperature which indicate that in the temperature range of 1200°K to 1600°K abnormal behaviors exist which hitherto have not been suspected. A correlation of emissivity change with change in density of metals is suggested.
