Scientific paper

The paper deals with the determination of the thermal diffusivity of solid materials near the melting point by studying the unidirectional propagation of a solidification front through the melts. The method is based on Neumann's thermal analysis of the liquid/solid interface during a solidification process. Measurements are given and the thermal diffusivity is determined for ice, mercury, and aluminum. The results are in fair agreement with reference data. An attempt is also made with data from the literature to calculate thermal diffusivity in very rapidly quenched metals, namely, tin, lead, and zinc. The calculated values are substantially lower than for the solid metals under normal conditions, a result that may reflect the glassy structure of the materials attained by quenching.
