THE INFRARED SPECTRAL RADIANT INTENSITY OF EXPLODING WIRES

Abstract

Quantitative data are presented concerning the time history of the spectral radiant intensity of the explosion of small stainless steel wires. The explosions were by electrical discharge. The history was recorded for 9 milliseconds after initial discharge, and radiant intensity was measured over the 2- and 6-micron region in half-micron bands. (Author)
