Abstract: In the field of energy-intensive industrial processes, investigating the spectral emissivity of molten metals is crucial for improving energy utilization and efficiency. However, previous research efforts have not fully explored the measurement of melting emissivity. This study presents an effective method for measuring the spectral emissivity of molten metals. A new experimental apparatus was developed to measure the melting spectral emissivity within a range of 2–8 μm and temperatures ranging from 873 K to 2373 K. The sample was rapidly melted using a specially designed electromagnetic cold crucible, while its spectral radiance was detected using a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. To enhance energy utilization rate, numerical simulation of the cold crucible improved induction heating performance. Additionally, calculating radiation within the cylindrical chamber enhanced measurement accuracy of emissivity. To validate the reliability of this apparatus, normal spectral emissivity measurements were conducted on liquid nickel. The results demonstrate that comprehensive uncertainty associated with liquid nickel's spectral emissivity does not exceed 1.82 %. Furthermore, verification based on the Drude-Roberts model confirms normal spectral emissivity values for liquid nickel as well.
