Thermophysical properties of molten refractory metals have been measured using an electrostatic levitation method. An electrostatic levitation furnace has been developed and could stably levitate molten samples at temperature exceeding
,000 degrees C. In addition, non-contact thermophysical properties measurement techniques have been implemented to the levitator furnace, and such thermophysical properties as density, heat capacity, heat of fusion, surface tension, and viscosity have been measured over wide temperature ranges including the undercooled region.
