MELTING TEMPERATURE OF SI-SIC EUTECIC FIXED POINT

• 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 ± 0.8 °C with k = 2.
