Abstract

In this paper, the application of photoacoustic methods to study thermal properties of Al-Li alloy is described. The photoacoustic measurements are carried out for thermal properties on Al-Li alloy and studied for various thicknesses. The theoretical basis for quantitative measurements is discussed together with the advantages and limitations of these methods as compared with conventional measurements. Applications to spectroscopic and depth-profile analysis and also to thermal property measurements in Al-Li samples heat-treated at 755K per hour and annealed at 505K are discussed. The results are compared with literature values, and discussed.
