Abstract: Thoriated tungsten (tungsten, 98%; thorium oxide, 2%) is a widely used electrode material for inert-gas are-welding. Data for the heat capacity, electrical resistivity, and hemispherical total emissivity of this material are reported for the temperature range 1200-3600 K. A subsecond pulse-heating technique was applied to rod specimens; radiance temperature was measured by high-speed pyrometry. Literature values of the temperature dependence of the normal spectral emissivity of tungsten were used to obtain true temperatures, using the melting point of thoriated tungsten as a calibration point. Reported uncertainties for the properties are 4% for heat capacity, 1.5% for electrical resistivity, and 7% for hemispherical total emissivity.
