MELTING TEMPERATURE OF SI-SIC EUTECIC FIXED POINT

Yong-Gyoo Kim, Suherlan

Abstract

The temperature of the Si-SiC eutectic fixed point for use in thermocouple thermometry has been determined. Three Si-SiC cells were fabricated and melting transition was measured using three types of thermocouple: one type S, one type B, and two Pt/Pd thermocouples calibrated at the fixed points of Ag, Cu, Fe-C, Co-C, and Pd (only for type B). The transition temperature, measured using the type S and two Pt/Pd thermocouples, was 1410.0 &plusmn; 0.8 °C with <i>k</i> = 2.
