Abstract
The density, volume change on melting, melting pointy phase transitions, surface tension, viscosity, compressibility, and thermal diffusivity of molten ceramics have been measured up to 3000°C. The experimental techniques used to make these measurements are described. The properties for a number of oxide systems, e.g., Al2O3, Sm2O3, UO2, Cr2O3, and basalt, determined as a function of temperature are reviewed. The influences of decomposition and stoichiometry changes, vaporization loss, incompatibility with and choices of containment materials, at these extreme temperatures are considered.
