Abstract
Experimental results of thermal conductivity depth profiling of case-hardened steel and mechanically loaded ceramics are presented, based on an inversion algorithm for a sample with piecewise linearly inhomogeneous depth profile of the thermal conductivity. The photothermally obtained profiles are interpreted or compared with results from conventional or destructive measuring techniques.Keywords
