Method and apparatus for implementing material thermal property measurement by flash thermal imaging

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing measurement of material thermal properties including measurement of thermal effusivity of a coating and/or film or a bulk material of uniform property. The test apparatus includes an infrared camera, a data acquisition and processing computer coupled to the infrared camera for acquiring and processing thermal image data, a flash lamp providing an input of heat onto the surface of a two-layer sample with an enhanced optical filter covering the flash lamp attenuating an entire infrared wavelength range with a series of thermal images is taken of the surface of the two-layer sample.

Thermal conductivity of ZrO2-4mol%Y2O3 thin coatings by pulsed thermal imaging method

Thin ZrO2-4mol% Y2O3 coatings were deposited onto ZrO2 substrates by electron beam-physical vapor deposition. The coated samples revealed a feather-like columnar microstructure. The main phase of the ZrO2-4mol% Y2O3 coatings was the tetragonal phase. To evaluate the influence of the coating’s thickness on the thermal conductivity of thin ZrO2-4mol% Y2O3 coatings, the pulsed thermal imaging method was employed to obtain the thermal conductivity of the coating layer in the two-layer (coating and substrate) samples with thickness between 56 and 337 micrometers. The thermal conductivity of the coating layer was successfully evaluated and compared well with those obtained by the laser flash method for similar coatings. The thermal conductivity of coatings shows an increasing tendency with an increase in the coating’s thickness.

Method for implementing depth deconvolution algorithm for enhanced thermal tomography 3D imaging

A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product implement enhanced thermal tomography three-dimensional (3D) thermal effusivity imaging. Experimental thermal imaging data is acquired. A response function is derived and a convolution formulation is constructed from the experimental thermal imaging data. A deconvolution solution procedure is implemented that includes constructing a matrix solution equation with a damping parameter, and solving the matrix solution equation with a selected number of iterations to construct a plurality of effusivity images. Using the novel depth deconvolution algorithm with experimental data acquired from a one-sided pulsed thermal-imaging system provides greater sensitivity for internal sample features substantially eliminating degradation in depth resolution.
